Summer is upon us and Gtown Surf School are hosting a Beach Clean up on Sunday May 17th. We are meeting at the Surf School trailer for 10am. Bags and cloves will be provided to all volunteers and all rubbish collected, will be disposed of appropriately by Cork County Council. We would like to invite all surfers who Surf Garrettstown to make the effort and give and hour or two to make the place fresh & clean. Coffee Dock will be treating anyone who helps out, to a free Tea / Coffee / Hot Chocolate afterwards.

It should only take a small while if we get enough people to help out and hopefully you will be rewarded with some good waves in return for your help!
We look forward to seeing you all there.
