Even though this is not be a pure skateboard slalom topic, it is related to slalom skateboarding. The Washington DC Chapter of Surfrider has held two banked slalom races, three longboard/vintage skateboard day events, a pool contest, and a street contest. Look for posting of future events and activities sponsored by the Washington DC Surfrider Chapter.
Surfrider Foundation Background Information:
http://www.surfrider.org
Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's oceans, waves and beaches for all people, through conservation, activism, research and education. Surfrider Foundation is a grassroots organization represented by 35,000 members and 60 local chapters in the U.S.
The Washington DC Chapter of Surfrider is a landlocked chapter with no beach to call its’ own; however, it is all water and the Washington DC area watershed is part of the hydrological cycle that ultimately leads to the ocean.
The Washington DC Chapter of Surfrider boasts over 350 members. A core group of these members meet every month to plan out various chapter activities that include environmental work, educational programs, outreach, and fundraising. Thus the Washington DC Chapter is doing whatever it can to promote Surfrider Foundation’s organizational principles of research, education and conservation.
Because the Washington DC Chapter can’t always make it out to the beach, we also support educational programs such as the "Snowrider Project", a program to bring environmental respect to the mountains. The Chapter also reaches out to potential surfers and non-surfer members in the Washington DC area by promoting snowboarding and skateboarding events.
Hope to see you at one of our many events. You might event want to become a member of Surfrider.
