Welcome to the WBLA!
The Wrightsville Beach Longboard Association is a group of young and old surfers who see the need to capture the true spirit of surfing, to use this spirit for the betterment of our communities and to live the surfing lifestyle in a positive manner.
The WBLA promotes surfing as a way of life. This is not a club of exclusivity, as each person makes his or her contributions to the goals of the association, we will be judged by the contributions to the community and the character of our members.
We have a number of activities throughout the year, including the annual Longboard Classic and a Holiday oyster roast and pot luck dinner. We give back to our community by providing scholarships to local students, donations to local families in need, and also environmental pursuits such as beach sweeps and sea grass planting.
We have monthly meetings held the first Tuesday of each month, at 7 -730 PM, at various locations in Wrightsville Beach. Anyone interested in the club is welcome to come see what we’re all about.
Get involved!
Find a committee you are interested in and volunteer to support the club: I encourage everyone to find an area that interests them and get involved with a committee. Send a message to one of committee chair’s below. It’s a great way to support our efforts in the club, and meet other members!
