Hari Selancar Internasional, diadakan setiap tahun pada atau dekat tanggal titik balik matahari musim panas[1]—usually June 21[2] (20 June on leap years)[1]—is an unofficial, environmentally conscious[3] sports-centered holiday that celebrates the sport of surfing and the surfing lifestyle and the sustainability of ocean resources.[4][5] Contests and prizes[6] are also part of the celebration with surfing related industries donating prizes such as surfboards and wetsuits.[3] Another purpose of the celebration is to promote the popularity of surfing and to attract new participants.[7]
International Surfing Day was established in 2004[8] by Surfing Magazine[9][10] and The Surfrider Foundation,.[9][10] International Surfing Day closely follows the spirit and intent of the World Surf Day established by the Usenet newsgroup alt.surfing in 1993.[11] International Surfing Day is a worldwide[12] celebration of the sport of surfing. The day is observed with surf contests,[10] barbecues,[13] film screenings[3] and other surf-related activities. Surfers also use the day to give back to the environment by organizing beach clean-ups,[8][9][10][14][15][16] dune and other habitat restoration[13] and other activities[5] such as lobbying to maintain the recreation areas in California where surfing occurs, or Naupaka planting in Hawaii.[1][17] Direct action was used by form of protest on this day in England to express opposition to sewage in the waters of the Gold Coast; a precarious problem for many surfers who become infected by the bacteria from open wounds from sports related injuries.[18]
Extent of celebrations
International Surf Day events have been held on all populated continents including South America where it is celebrated in Argentina,[12]Brazil,[2] and Peru.[2] Also in the Southern Hemisphere the holiday is observed in the Oceanian nations of Australia[19] and New Zealand.[2] The day is also widely observed in the American state of Hawaii, also in Oceania.[5][16]
