We talk about making change, we want and desire a better world. Well, these are ways to assist the future to be a better place. Between helping our active duty, veterans, and now the local community by helping kids, we are creating balance that will help so many people in intangible ways. I realize we can only do so much; I am asking you to do your best to participate, give a little of yourselves for others and watch how your life and family’s lives will change and grow for the better.
We have a busy summer ahead with plenty of activities to be involved with. From supporting events for the active duty, veterans, and our local community with kids and adults alike, lend a hand.
We are all getting into the water and enjoying ourselves with the warm water and south swells approaching. Please be aware of the water conditions, your fellow surfers, and each other. You never know when things could go wrong.
Keep enjoying our local breaks and surfing as much as you can. Please share your stories on our social media so we can share the epic summer ahead together.
Please have a safe and happy weekend, I hope to see you in the water and at some events.
