Welcome to 5th annual Surftober 2026!

Surftober was started by a few friends in the outer sunset of San Francisco to have fun and jump in to the start of the surfing season. The goal of the event is simple, to surf as many hours as possible in the month of October. Any active Open Water (Ocean, Lake) sport in the surf will count toward your total hours (surfing, windsurfing, swimming, etc..). Try to only log time in the water! Feel free to invite others by sending them this sign up form, would like to try mainly keep this local though (Bay Area).

This year we will introduce a few methods of getting bonus hours including:

• [Unlimited 2x multiplier] Surfing without a wetsuit (Cold Water ~ <= Bay Area Water)
• [One time +1 Hour Bonus] Beach trash cleanup
• [One time +1 Hour Bonus] Surfing in a costume near Halloween (There will also be a group event)
• [One time +1 Hour Bonus] Teach a Kook — take a newbie out surfing
• [One time +1 Hour Bonus] Take a water quality reading with the SF Blue Water Task Force
