The Surfari Club now hosts up to three surf contests a year, the Mike Martin Pro-Am in the Spring, the Seaside Fiesta event in June, and the Surfari Spooktacular in October. To date, the Club has produced more than 100 contests. The Club has instituted several features over the years that encourage the participation of the community:
The t-shirt for the Smyrna Surfari Contests are always chosen from designs created by art students from the local High School, with the selected designer being awarded a prize of $100. The Club also donates $150 to the High School’s art department to cover any costs associated with this project. The highlight of each Halloween Spooktacular event is the hilarious “Costume Surfing” Kids & Big Kids Divisions, entries are free and the division winner takes home $50. All entries in our contests receive a free contest t-shirt.
Our contests also feature a Tadpole event. This event is for tykes 11 years and under who with the help of their parents, are guided into waves on their way to fame. Each competitor gets a t-shirt, surfing medallion or trophy and memories of a life time. Competitors in our events who finish at or near the top of their divisions are awarded trophies. These trophies are unique for each one is handmade by Club members. Each wood trophy is shaped like a surfboard and can be considered a work of art. Over the years many of the competitors have stated that these were their favorite of all the trophies they have won.
All the proceeds from these events, as well as the Silent Auction and Surfboard Raffle, go to the annual college scholarships that are awarded to graduating seniors from NSB High School. In its 45th year the Surfari Club awarded a $10,000 in scholarship and trophy to JAKE LARSON to use for tuition and supplies. Since 1980 the Club has awarded more than $250,000 in scholarships to more than eighty deserving students.
One of the most prominent features here on the beachfront, at the Flagler Avenue boardwalk, is the surfing monument, arguably the most photographed landmark in New Smyrna Beach. 
It was proposed, designed and paid for entirely by the Surfari Club. The monument was destroyed by a hurricane in 2005, and is now in its third incarnation. The plaque on the monument reads: “This monument was dedicated by the Smyrna Surfari Club in 2001, to commemorate the significance of the sport of surfing to the local community.”
Surfari Beach CleanUps: As part of its commitment to the environment, in 2008, the Club adopted its 1st mile of beach (Coconut Palms north to Sapphire Park}, the busiest stretch of beach in town. 
Several years later the Club adopted a 2nd mile of beach from the jetty south, “The Mecca Mile of Surfing on the East Coast”. By December, 2016, we will have conducted over 45 cleanups on a combined 40+ miles of beach collecting over a ton of trash.
The Surfari Club was instrumental in the production of the AloeUp Cup surf contests in 1988 and 1989, the last internationally rated contests on the East Coast for more than twenty years.
The Surfari Club has entered floats in many NSB Christmas and Mardi Gras Parades. Their very first Christmas float won 1st place in 1983, featuring Joe Burgess as “Surfing Santa” and Stacy Chisolm as the classic, “Surfer Girl”.
In May, 2013, the Surfari Club donated $1000 as a co-sponsor with the City and SVAA to bring Bethany Hamilton, surf star and inspirational speaker, to NSB High School for a speech and showing of her film “Soul Surfer”.
April, 2013, the Club added a “Tree in the Park” on Riverside Drive. It was dedicated to “The Memory of our fallen Surfaris “ and will eventually have a plaque commemorating those members.
Over the past years Jim Spencer, past Rector at Saint Peter The Fisherman Episcopal Church, 
Club Chaplin and staunch supporter, has help raise funds for our Club’s events and charitable endeavors. As a result of his hard work, the generous donations of his church’s members and Club fund raising efforts, the Club donated over $10,000 to the following organizations in the past years:
- American Cancer Society
- Meals on Wheels
- Council on Aging
- NSB Police Athletic League
- Community Hot Meals program
- NSB Museum of East Coast Surfing
- Oceans of Hope Foundation
- NSB High School Mug Shots
- New Smyrna/Edgewater Rotary Club to help with the building of a green house at the Burns Oak Hill Science School
- Relay for Life Cancer Fund
- Fico Fest, the celebration of the late Fico Fernandez’s life, career as a NSB High School math teacher and Surfari Club member
- Saint Peter the Fisherman Episcopal Church
Since the summer of 2014, Club members have lent a hand to the Oceans Of Hope Foundation, assisting physically challenged individuals to experience the thrill of surfing and kayaking for the first time in their lives. Its first event had six brave souls ride three waves each and all left the beach with smiles on their faces. The Foundation now produces several surfing and kayak events each year with the support of the Smyrna Surfari Club.
After 44 years of celebrating the sport of surfing, Club members can be proud of our little Club’s efforts. Our scholarships have encouraged many students to pursue their education beyond high school. Our contests have provided a family oriented competition often featuring some of the best surfers in the country. Our contributions to the community we love have impacted many beyond the surfing world. We thank all of the fine people who have supported the Club over the years. Our success is due in part to the generosity of our sponsors and friends.
