Helgoland Surfers
This surf club is located at Amager Strandpark, Copenhagen, Denmark. The club offers windsurfing courses and equipment, kitesurfing equipment, and SUP-boards amongst many other things. It is a club run by members and volunteers and everyone is welcome to join, beginners as well as advanced. Social activities are a big part of this club where members can enjoy BBQ evenings, summer parties and other get togethers. The partnership focuses on member engagement and a stronger team spirit and results in creating awareness about ocean pollution and a positive environmental impact.
Why did the club decide to engage in a sport club partnership with NOW?
Helgoland Surfers and NOW crossed paths at Sydvestpynten, a popular kitesurf beach south of Copenhagen. As a club of kitesurfers and windsurfers, we can very much identify with NOW's mission to create public awareness about keeping our oceans clean. We spend a lot of our free time on beaches or in the ocean anyways, waiting for the perfect conditions. With this partnership we can help create awareness across the different generation of surfers and their friends in and beyond our club.
What do the club hope this partnership will bring?
We mostly believe this will bring even more fun to our club. Helgoland Surfers has a high level of member engagement through surfing, social gatherings, maintaining equipment and arranging fantastic club trips. By adding another purposeful activity, we give even more members a chance to connect with each other and grow in our community.
Have Helgoland Surfers engaged in something similar before, cleanup events etc.?
It's the first time that we as a club engage in a partnership like this, and we are very excited about it. We may have been a little inspired by our former president Daniel Mirecki who recently founded OMHU.dk in Hvide Sande, an initiative working with marine litter awareness as well.
Water Sport Club Cleanup
This sunny weekend April 22nd 2023, Helgoland Surfers, a Water Sport Club partner of ours, organised a beach cleanup at Amager.
They collected an impressive 15.9 kilograms of trash. Well done!
Our Water Sport Club Partnerships are a great way for water sports lovers to give back to the ocean that they love and cherish. Members contribute to raising awareness of ocean pollution and build a strong team feeling.
