In 1979 a group of surfers from New Smyrna Beach, Florida formed the Smyrna Surfari Club. They wanted to create a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the sport of surfing. They focused on two ways to reach their goal. The first, and most obvious, was sponsoring surfing competitions at both the amateur and professional level. The second, which club members are most proud of, was the awarding of scholarships to high school seniors/surfers. Since 1979, the Smyrna Surfari Club has hosted over 50 surf contests and awarded over $80,000 in scholarship monies. Not bad for a group of old surf bums. April 1, 2009 will marked the club's 30th birthday and the club is still going strong. This year we'll be hosting three contests and awarding three scholarships. Please see the "Coming Events" page for contest information. We are proud of our accomplishments and thankful for the support from sponsors, surfers and our community. We hope to continue supporting the sport of surfing and young surfers for years to come. |
