As the California Surf Club is committed to building a vibrant community that lives and demonstrates our values, we have developed the Groundswell program to offer membership to people within the South Bay area who may otherwise not have the means to join. The ideal Groundswell candidate demonstrates the California Surf Club values in daily life, and demonstrates the following attributes:
- They live the beach lifestyle, and embrace the unique culture, spirit, and activities that come with living near the ocean.
- They are inclusive and curious, looking to learn from, collaborate with, and celebrate others.
- They are deeply rooted in the community and actively give back.
- They possess unyielding integrity. Honesty, transparency, and ethical behavior are a must at CASC.
- They are good stewards of the environment and are committed to participating/volunteering in CASC philanthropic and environmental events.
Groundswell memberships have the same rights and privileges as a Classic Member, but are limited to the Individual membership type. Memberships are valid for 12 months, renewable annually only through the Membership Committee. Minimum requirements for a Groundswell membership are:
- Over the age of 21
- Must live in the South Bay
