Girls Beginner Surf Meetup !
Sun at 9:30am · Pacifica
Casual beginner surf group in Pacifica!
Hi everyone! I’m just a girl who lives in north beach looking for some more friends to surf with! ig: @graceclendenin
I’m new to organizing this and thought it be fun to have the surf equivalent of a run club. Let’s meet at Soul Grind in Pacifica at 9:30. Everyone welcome!
No experience required! If you’ve never surfed before I can give you tips and you can rent gear at the surf shop next to the coffee shop for ~$30!
Schedule:
- 9:30-10: meet at Soul Grind Coffee Roasters. Get coffee and chat!
- 9:30-9:50: If anyone needs to rent a surfboard or wetsuit, go next door to NorCal surf shop or Traveler surf shop. NorCal is cheaper but Traveler is better quality and women owned. Once you get your gear meet back outside Soul Grind with your stuff. At this point you can be wearing your wetsuit or put it on at the beach.
- 10:00: We’ll walk over from Soul Grind to the beach. I’m planning to set up camp near the creek.
- 10-10:15: I can give tips to anyone who needs it!
- 10:15-11: free surf! Then everyone leaves on their own time.RSVP Here

Dane + The Ronnie Blaze Band @ The Faight
Sat at 7pm · San Francisco
Party people!!! 🍷🎉💗
We have a very special show for you on Saturday, September 5th at the Faight Collective 🧡
Dane plays heartfelt alternative pop-rock, drawing inspiration from confessional lyricists like Lana Del Rey and sonic inspiration from bands like Mazzy Star.
Ronnie Blaze Band is an iconic San Francisco band. Following the end of the pandemic, Ronnie Blaze emerged onto the San Francisco Bay Area club and open mic circuit. Happily paying his dues in half empty dive bars and supper clubs as a sideman to Mike Dingle and his Third Thursday Band, he marinated in one of Rock and Roll’s most storied cities. These experiences have left him well seasoned and hungry to prove himself, which he does on his debut single named after that city by the bay: San Francisco.
This show is also commemorating Dane’s release of their first song- Between Me and The High.
Be there, bring friends and be ready to PARTY!!! LOVE U 💥RSVP Here

Run for Mutts
Sat at 9am · San Francisco
Join me for a community 2.7-mile run/walk/bike benefiting Muttville Senior Dog Rescue! @muttvillesf
After the unexpected yet amazing amount of interest in this run, I’ve decided to keep things a little simpler and make it more of a community morning than a formal race. 💗
We’ll meet at Equator Coffees at the Golden Gate Bridge and make our way together to Equator Coffees at Fort Mason, where we’ll hang out, grab a coffee and a bite, and connect with one another afterward.
📍 START: Equator Coffees — Golden Gate Bridge
📍 FINISH: Equator Coffees — Fort Mason
🏃♀️ DISTANCE: 2.7 miles
🐕 Runners, walkers, bikers & pups welcome!
And then comes the fun part… an afternoon auction benefiting Muttville! 🐾
I’m so excited to have some incredibly generous people donating handmade and one-of-a-kind prizes:
🧶 A handmade blanket by @vialeopardi
🐶 A custom pet portrait by my friend Maggie
📸 A pet photo session with @jpriestly
🐾 A handmade ceramic pet feeder by @ceramiccfacade
All proceeds from the auction will go toward supporting Muttville Senior Dog Rescue and the senior dogs in their care.
Donations are always encouraged, but never required. If you’re able to contribute, every dollar makes a difference in helping senior dogs receive the love, medical care, and forever homes they deserve. ❤️
Come run, walk, bike, bring your pup, meet some new people, grab a coffee and a bite, and help us do something good for the community.
No pace requirements! This is meant to be an easygoing morning for everyone to enjoy. The duration of the event will be approximately three hours.
Donations can be made through the Every.org fundraiser linked in this Partiful.
Can’t wait to see you there! 🐾💗
