We are so excited to be launching a new partnership with Surfrider!
Here at Pela we're big believers in supporting organizations that are actively working to make a difference, and Surfrider is definitely making a difference.
The Surfrider Foundation is a community of everyday people who passionately protect the ocean, waves, and beaches for everyone!

They conduct their campaigns via local, regional, and national chapters and their focus is on:- Ensuring beaches are accessible
