Otter Rock n Roll began 8 years ago in celebration of International Surfing Day which is officially observed on June 20th uniting surfers from around the world to celebrate the sport of surfing and give back to our ocean, waves and beaches through stewardship activities. “This is a great opportunity to engage in ocean stewardship, physical activity, and family friendly competition. No surf experience is required – just a desire to enjoy the sport of surfing” says Vince Pappalardo of the Newport Chapter and organizer of the event.
