Memorial Information

The Tourmaline Tailgaters Surfing Association is in the process of finalizing the Tourmaline Canyon Surfing Park Memorial. After two years of working with government and private entities, the Surfer's Memorial is nearing fruition. The Tailgaters have overcome many obstacles along the way to design, develop and construct this beautiful Surfer's Memorial.

The Surfers Memorial will recognize all surfers, young and old, male and female, the famous and the unknown. The Surfer's Memorial is for all of us who are passionate about the sport of surfing and Tourmaline Canyon Surfing Park.

The Surfer's Memorial once completed, will be donated to the City of San Diego as a "Park Enhancement." Maintenance and vandalism repairs will be the responsibility of the Tailgaters Surfing Association. The Tailgaters will assume all construction costs.

Chance in a Lifetime Fund Raising Strategy

To fund the Surfer's Memorial, the Tailgaters plan to sell bricks (4" x 8") to generate revenue. The brick purchaser(s) may inscribe a message on their brick. The bricks can accommodate fifteen spaces on three lines giving a total of forty five spaces or letter. The bricks will be placed in and around the Memorial base and the extended deck. The bricks will remain in place for everyone to read and enjoy much like at Petco Park or in Ocean Beach at the foot of Newport Avenue.

The Memorial Brick purchase price $200 (First come first serve until spaces run out.)
You may purchase more than one brick. Brick sales will begin as follows;
WHEN: Saturdays through December 2007 10:00am thru 2:00 pm.
