About us
Welcome to the Jersey Shore Beginner/Intermediate Surfing Meetup Group!
Looking for a fun, easy way to connect with other surfers at one of New Jersey’s most iconic breaks? Welcome to the Carlson’s Corner Surf Meetup — a friendly community built around good waves, good people, and a great place to gather.
Hosted at Carlson’s Corner, this meetup gives surfers a comfortable home base right near the water. Members meet up at Carlson’s Corner, join paddle-outs, then head back to change, grab food & drinks, and chat with fellow wave riders in Meetup reserved space.
This group is organized by the team at Carlson’s Corner. While they help bring everyone together and plan themed meetups, this is not a lesson-based or guided surf group. Surfers paddle out independently and at their own pace — Carlson’s simply provides a welcoming space to connect and build community.
Surf at your own risk- Carlson’s Corner is not responsible for the safety of participants
Times TBD (Tide Be Determined)
Expect fun themed meetups like:
- Sunset/Sunrise sessions
- Special guest surfers joining group sessions
- Social nights and seasonal gatherings
Carlson’s Corner may partner with local surf schools, instructors, and gear rental shops, with occasional discounts and perks for meetup members.
Whether you’re a longtime local and enjoy giving tips to newbies, just getting started, or looking for new surf buddies, this meetup is all about sharing the energy — surf your session, then come back, relax, and make connections at Carlson’s Corner.
