Christian Surfers

Christian Surfers

9am Sunday July 3rd

[meeting by the ‘starting gate’ on the beach].

30 minute blessing of the surf service led by Beyond as part of CSBrighton.

CSBrighton is part of Christian Surfers UK. Christian Surfers UK are a group of full-on surfers who are also committed Christians and see God’s signature written all over his creation. We are not a church, but our members represent a wide range of different churches to which they belong. However, it is a main objective to bridge the gap between the beach community and the church.

The liturgical response of the surfers code:

I will never turn my back on the ocean
I will always paddle back out
I will take the drop with commitment
I will know that there will always be another wave
I will realize that all surfers are joined by one ocean
I will paddle around the impact zone
I will never fight a rip tide
I will watch out for other surfers after a big set
I will pass on my stoke to a non-surfer
I will ride, and not paddle in to shore
I will catch a wave every day, even in my mind
I will honor the sport of kings
I will honor the bodyboarders with pride

If you can’t make the morning blessing, an interactive ‘blessing of the surf sculpture’ will be up for the rest of the day.
