School and life got you down? Join CSUSB Outdoors later this spring for our Surf Saturday day trips and Surf Weekend camping trips.
The southern California coastline boasts some of the world’s best surfing, hiking and scenic ocean views. While the rest of the country is still shaking off the frost of winter, we head down to San Clemente State Beach to take advantage of the sunny SoCal weather. Whether you are a surfing pro, or just a beginner, come and enjoy a weekend on the water. Dust off your flippers, load up your CSUSB Outdoors surfboard and away we go! At night we'll warm up around the campfire listening to our favorite Jack Johnson and Ben Harper tunes.
