2024 New Jersey Surf Responder Summit
FINALLY! We’re heading to the Jersey Shore for BWRAG’s first-ever New Jersey Surf Responder Summit hosted by Sea Girt Beach Patrol on June 8-9, 2024.
BWRAG’s Surf Responder Summit is a two-day training designed for surfers of all levels and abilities. This course teaches you how to be a Surf Responder: an ocean athlete who not only knows how to mitigate their own personal risk, but who can also serve as an asset to others in an emergency situation.
