The summer weather has been mostly drab -- with overcast skies and cool conditions.
However, that's all being shrugged off in Huntington Beach on Saturday, when surfers will celebrate International Surfing Day with the Quiksilver Foundation and the Bolsa Chica Conservancy at Bolsa Chica State Beach.
The event is free and open to the public.
The morning is set to kick-off at the south end of the park with a beach clean-up and an open surf session to follow.
Surftech will be demonstrating its latest surfboards and SUP boards.
Taco Bell will have a new taco truck, delivering a free lunch for the first 300 volunteers.
Sambazon will also give away free smoothies.
And as a special token of appreciation, Quiksilver will give away event tee-shirts.
Check-in at the Quiksilver tent to get a wristband for lunch, smoothies and tee-shirt.
The schedule: 7 a.m. for the beach clean-up at the south parking lot at Bolsa Chica State Beach; 9 a.m. for the open surf session; 11 a.m. is Lunch with Taco Bell and Sambazon.
The Bolsa Chica Conservancy is a private non-profit organization, established in 1990 to advocate the protection of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands through education, public outreach, scientific research and habitat restoration. For more details, visit www.bolsachica.org.
