OUR MISSION

"Friendship and Camaraderie In and Out of the Water"

The Big Stick Surfing Association (aka BSSA or Big Stick) was formed in 1983 by a group of Santa Cruz surfers looking for both a social and community service club. Big Stick Surfing Association has evolved to also incorporate competitive surfing and hosting the annual Logjam! "old board, no cord" contest.
