The Buddy Pelletier Surfing Foundation

"In 1995, the Buddy Pelletier Surfing Scholarship Foundation was started in memory of Buddy Pelletier. He was a former top ranked shortboarder with the APS in the 1980's. Going back to his Longboard roots shortly before his death he came full circle in his passion for a sport called surfing."

"The Buddy Pelletier Surfing Foundation Mission is to operate for charitable, educational and humanitarian purposes. It will operate for these purposes as well as to engage in fund-raising endeavors and to also receive contributions in support of the Buddy Pelletier Surfing Foundation. This Foundation has been established to support the Educational and Humanitarian needs of the East Coast surfing community and it’s youth."

Tonight you can support BPSF by attending The Summertime Blues Art Auction.  This event is held annually the last weekend in February. Hosted by Watermark.  Art, memorabilia and jewelry.  Food and live music by Free Poor!  All proceeds benefit the Buddy Pelletier Surfing Foundation.   

There are numerous ways to support the Buddy Pelletier Surfing Foundation throughout the year.  My husband has participated in the The Buddy Pellitier Longboard Classic since the beginning. 

"The Buddy Pelletier Memorial Longboard Classic was started to honor the memory of east coast legend and much beloved surfer Buddy Pelletier. Emulating Buddy’s rare combination of sportsmanship and fierce competition surfers gather to let their surfing do their talking."
