The South Jersey Boardriders Continue To Offer Surfing and Safety To Local Communities

The Jersey Shore and surfing are essentially synonymous, so Ocean Casino Resort's ongoing partnership with South Jersey Boardriders is a natural fit. South Jersey Boardriders is a non-profit organization that works to provide amateur based team competition for boardrider clubs throughout South Jersey, with a mission of community, culture, and conservation.

Earlier this week, the Boardriders, who take inspiration from the world famous Australian Boardriders Clubs by providing inter-club competition, hometown pride and charitable works, volunteered their time to teach local kids from Atlantic City and the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City the fundamentals of surfing, ocean awareness and safety protocols. Both the kids and volunteers got to enjoy a delicious lunch on the beach, courtesy of Ocean's culinary team.

The children had a wave-filled, educational day, and got to go home with their own wet suits courtesy of South Jersey Boardriders. In accordance with Ocean Casino Resort’s ongoing $15M reinvestment into the community, a donation of $10,000 was made to the South Jersey Boardriders so the organization can continue their mission to mentor, educate, and provide charity for beach communities.

South Jersey Boardrider's Surf & Safety Lessons was Ocean Casino Resort's second event with the organization this month. On Sunday, June 6, the Boardriders held their inter-club surf competition on the beach directly outside of Ocean Casino Resort, with over 220 participants from eight different clubs.  Following a fantastic day of surfing, over 100 of the Boardriders celebrated the competition with family and friends overlooking the sparkling Atlantic Ocean at Topgolf Swing Suite in Ocean Casino Resort.
