🌊 A New Season, A Growing Movement

Last season, the Connecticut Chapter was honored with Surfrider's Coastal Champion Award, recognizing our outstanding efforts to protect ocean, waves, and beaches throughout the inaugural Sprints season. This year, we're building on that momentum — expanding the series across three states and welcoming more paddlers, more partners, and more impact.

A huge thank-you to Athletic Brewing, who has renewed as our title sponsor for the 2026 Sprints Series. Their continued support is what makes this series possible, and we're proud to have them back in our corner for another season of protecting what we all love to paddle on.

We're also excited to welcome Open Water as our official hydration partner for 2026. Open Water's commitment to reducing single-use plastic aligns perfectly with Surfrider's mission — and every Sprints participant will be hydrating with Open Water at every stop on the schedule.
