SUMMARY:Freshwater Friday: Movie Night
DESCRIPTION:After a two year hiatus\, we’re bringing back a classic Sleeping Bear Surf tradition! \nJoin us for movie night under the MilkyWay\, with popcorn too! \nHere are the deets: \n \n7:30pm – we’ll be down at the Empire Public Beach Lighthouse for our weekly Friday night gathering on the wall! Bring a dish to pass and a beverage\, or just show up! Look for Jenny (our 1972 electric blue Chevy Cheyenne)! \nDash up to the shop post-sunset! \n9:00pm – we’ll keep the party going at the shop! \nWe’ll have the big screen set up in the green space next to the shop. Bring a chair\, a blanket\, and a buddy! \nWhat’s showing? Expect anything from classic surf flicks to inspiring new surf-based films. We’ll be determining the flick as the date nears and updating here. \nThe evening will also be dedicated to the wicked-awesome groms who will be completing Junior Waterman Camp the afternoon prior to movie night. Therefore we will have an awards ceremony and camp recap kicking off the night. \nP.S. \nThe streets of Empire are pretty enticing to cruise around on skateboards after dark… 😉

SUMMARY:Surfboard Swap & Board Repair Party
DESCRIPTION:We’re kickin’ off the season with an ol’ fashioned surf swap\, and board repair party amidst the famous Empire Asparagus Festival! Woot! Free too\, duh! \n\nSurf Swap\nFinding old boards amidst your spring cleanin’ that you’re itching to ditch? Or searching for a used board to kick off your summer surf love affair? This is an awesome opportunity to bring board(s) you want to sell\, or to get your hands on a used board. \nFor all boards sold at the swap we are encouraging donations to directly benefit the Matt Rieck Scholarship Fund to give an underprivileged grom the opportunity to participate in Jr. Waterman Camp this upcoming July or August. For boards sold over $200 we are suggesting a $20 donation\, while board sales under $150 we are suggesting a $10 donation. \n\n\n\n\nBoard Repair Party \nIf your board is busted but not ready to part ways with you yet\, bring ‘er over and we will supply repair accoutrements! If you haven’t done your own repair before or just want to make it beauteous this is a great opportunity to get some guidance and ensure your board is water tight for that next session! We will have the ever-talented Otto Bengsch of Bengsch Surfboards  joining us to provide his expertise and sharing some tips and tricks for proper board repair. \nFor all boards brought to the swap or repair party you’ll be granted FREE entry to the Empire Asparagus Festival! Great beer\, good music\, and deep fried asparagus are all just right next door! It’s going to be a great day to hang on Front Street! \n\nCheck out the full Asparagus Festival schedule of events here: https://empirechamber.com/event/asparagus-festival/\n\n\nCan’t make it Saturday but want to drop your board? No sweat! Give us a call and we’ll set up a time to get your board safely into the shop for Saturday’s swap.

SUMMARY:Earth Day Beach Clean Up
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of action in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore\, at North Bar Lake. \nWhile North Bar is one of the most pristine inland lakes in the area\, it is also prone to an abundance of trash. North Bar has a fluctuating outlet\, and in the past few years it has failed to connect to Lake Michigan entirely\, therefore during rough days on the big lake\, plastics make their way over the sand into the outlet and trap themselves in the reeds around the inland lake. \nAs the heart of the lakeshore\, North Bar Lake is home to a beautiful\, fragile ecosystem – inhabited by various fish species\, birds\, turtles\, and mammals. Plastic pollution is a threat to that vital ecosystem. \nJoin us at 5:30pm to hear from a Biologist with the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park Service about the importance of the ecosystem within North Bar Lake and stick around to pay tribute by doing a deep clean! \nIn partnership with the Northern Michigan Surfrider Chapter\, FLOW\, Friends of Sleeping Bear\, Beth Price Photography and supported by Grocer’s Daughter Chocolate\, and S’well. We will have heaps of awesome information\, inspiration\, and connections to make all on April 22nd at North Bar Lake. Come hang and let’s do some spring cleanin’! \nWhat to bring: \n\nA National Park Pass for parking at North Bar Lake parking lot & access to the Park — Can be purchased at the National Park Headquarters in Empire.\nGloves! It may be a bit chilly but also gloves are great cleanup companions! Hand sanitizer will be available on site as well.\nBag or Bucket! Old coffee sacks or plastic bags? A big bucket? Bring it! We will have bags and buckets on hand\, but in the case of high attendance yours might be needed!\n\nWhere to meet: \nThe eastern edge of North Bar Lake! Park your vehicle\, or your bike\, and walk on down to the lake! We will be set up with a tent at the end of the walkway. You can’t miss us!\nA sign in sheet\, bags and buckets will be at the tent. Arrive by 5:30pm to hear from organizers and a biologist with the National Park!\nRemember not to forget your park pass! \n  \nBONUS: All participants will receive a coupon for 15% off to Shop Online or In Store at Sleeping Bear Surf! \n  \nRSVP to get event updates\, to ensure you get don’t miss out on discount codes and more! \nWant to participate but can’t make it to North Bar? Share a photo of your backyard cleanup with the hashtag #sbsurfspringclean and we’ll send you the discount code!
