things we dig: beyond the surface

September 23, 2010

“Beyond the Surface is a nonprofit with a mission to empower disadvantaged youth through the sport of surfing and eradicate youth homelessness in coastal regions worldwide! Our centers in Peru, South Africa, and India focus on educational surfing activities such as surfboard repair classes, beach cleanups, and of course, surf lessons! We look to spread the good vibes in and out of the water in our effort to create opportunities for some of the most incredible kids one will ever know! Surfing is my life but what makes it sweet is sharing it with disadvantaged kids all over the world!”
