Mark your calendars to honor and celebrate the life of the iconic and legendary Hap Jacobs. Incredible craftsman, humble, kind, and a mentor to many. This paddleout is likely to be packed with people so ride your bike, Uber/Lyft, or walk to avoid the hassle of finding a parking spot. Reception to follow at Dive N Surf at 12pm. RIP Hap. #southbaylegend

Ever wonder what the facility behind the new El Segundo Top Golf actually does? That’s the @westbasin Edward C Little Water Recycling plant - and it produces up to 40 million gallons a day of repurposed wastewater that goes towards landscape irrigation and industrial uses via the #PurplePipe distribution network. SBBC is hosting a private tour for members and guests to check out how this innovative process works and to learn how this facility helps promote water resiliency from our backyard to across the Southland. Saturday 7/30 10am-12pm, Tour open to adults and children older than 7yrs old. Please RSVP on our website or via the link in bio.
