12th Annual SFA Jacksonville Surf Festival

Join Surfers for Autism for their 12th Annual Jacksonville Beach Surf Festival on Saturday, September 14th from 8 am to 4 pm behind the Hampton Inn Oceanfront.

Come out to participate or volunteer with this amazing Non-profit organization. Kids and young adults with autism and other special needs will get a chance to feel the glide of the surf through the help of dedicated people and watermen. SFA offers a chance for local businesses and resources to connect with the special needs community in their area. Participant and Volunteer check-in starts at 8 AM Saturday morning 9/14, and we start surfing around 9 AM, so don't be late! Event after-party located to be announced!
