EVENT OVERVIEW:
 

Join us for a powerful, community-led paddle-out at San Onofre — a visual demonstration to demand accountability for the 3.6 million pounds of radioactive waste stored just feet from the surf.

 

This is more than a gathering — it’s a stand for coastal protection, environmental justice, and public safety. Surfers, students, and advocates will convene to call for long-overdue action.
