Art Contest!
Surfing Moms is excited to launch our first-ever (and hopefully annual!) 2026 Art Contest to design the official Surfing Moms t-shirt of the year! We are inviting all adult members to submit original artwork that reflects the spirit of Surfing Moms — community, strength, motherhood, empowerment, and our connection to the ocean.
The winning design will be featured on our official Surfing Moms 2026 t-shirt, and the artist will receive a free t-shirt with their design.
We have many talented artists among us, and we can’t wait to see what you come up with.
The contest launches April 1 and closes May 1. Check out guidelines and eligibility here.
Surf Therapy
Congratulations to seven of our Surfing Moms team for embarking on a new endeavor: Surf Therapy Training with Groundswell. This training just began and will go through October, and will provide an opportunity for our coordinators to deepen their facilitation skills in order to intentionally support maternal wellbeing and create safe, supportive spaces where moms can regulate their nervous systems and build connection.
Surfing Moms Spotlight: Delia!
Delila is the coordinator of the Hilo Surfing Moms group and continues bringing in more moms with welcoming arms. She’s thoughtful, funny, kind, supportive, and an incredible mom to her 2 beautiful boys.
Delila single-handedly started the Hilo chapter and dedicated every Saturday ensuring there was a surf moms meetup. In addition to managing all the coordination, start up, and administrative work, she also recruited and advertised for the chapter to get it going. Along with being an involved member of the island, she’s a role model and an amazing mother and person. She totally deserves to be recognized for her efforts and hard work and supporting the Surf Moms mission!
We love you Delila!
