Being fortunate enough to travel around the world on surf trips throughout my life, I have been inspired by children who have been less fortunate. While leaving a couple surfboards behind on each trip along with swim trunks, sunglasses, shirts, sandals etc; was a really good feeling, I knew there was more that we could be doing for more of these children who live in world class surf destinations that happen to be located in third world countries.

Surfing brings joy and a proper healthy lifestyle into these children's lives. Almost all of these groms already surf, and rip quite well at that. The problem is that surfing equipment isn't cheap, and way more difficult to nearly impossible to access in these areas of the world. With your help to get the proper equipment for these children to continue honing their craft, it gives them an opportunity to have a more positive future, and a chance to live their dreams.

With the staggering statistic of over 5.25 billion pieces of plastic debris polluting our oceans and beaches, it's up to us as human beings to try and be part of the solution and not the problem to remove waste from our beaches. Within our program we are teaching these children that a cleaner and healthier planet, is also a happier planet for all.
