Surf Sirens was launched by Linda Beltz, Jameson Riser, and Deb Volturno in 2016 to introduce more women to kayak surfing. Women who enjoy the surf or just want to get more comfortable for coastal journeys are called "Surf Sirens." Each September there is a gathering for Surf Sirens in the Pacific Northwest to connect with each other and to enjoy the stoke that can only come from the power of the surf.
