Surfrider Foundation Gold Coast Tweed is starting to host tutorials on sustainable surfing. On Tuesday 13 July, Surfrider Foundation Gold Coast Tweed and Black Apache Surfboards are partnering to present the inaugural DIY tutorial - "How to Fix a Ding Tutorial" at the Kirra Surfriders Club.

Surfrider Foundation Gold Coast Tweed desires to present regular gatherings to teach the surfing community how to live and surf sustainably with the resources we have on a daily basis.

"Why would you pay $70 to fix a dinged rail to a local shaper if you had the knowledge to do it yourself? The surfing community has always been a self-sufficient people group, trying to live as simply as they can. Surfrider Foundation wants to keep that mantra at the forefront of our surfing and lifestyle. We are also excited to partner with the up-and-coming Black Apache Surfboards," said Adam Feichtmann, President of Surfrider Foundation Gold Coast Tweed.

When surfing was introduced into Australia, surfers were forced to learn and do everything themselves. With the advancement of modern technology and popularity of surfing, the Do It Yourself mindset nearly died. Surfrider Foundation Gold Coast Tweed as a surfing environmental organization, wants to bring that attitude back to surfing; one, for the joy it entails, and two, to draw awareness to the damage people can cause to the oceans, beaches, and waves by not being wise about their resources.
