About The Eastern Surfing Association
The Eastern Surfing Association (ESA) is dedicated to the sport of amateur surfing, to the operation of a program of amateur competition for surfers of all ages and abilities, and to the establishment and preservation of free access to a clean shoreline and ocean environment. The ESA is the largest amateur surfing association in the world, with a current membership of more than 11,000 surfers. Our family-oriented programs promote a healthy and active lifestyle. The Association's activities are organized into 26 districts, which extend along nearly 2,000 miles of coastline. Stretching from Maine through the Gulf Coast of Florida, Alabama, and the Great Lakes across the Atlantic to the Caribbean, each district's programs are developed and operated by a dedicated group of volunteer directors and staff. It was founded in 1967 by East Coast surfers to promote, preserve, and protect the sport of surfing on the East Coast.
