Surf Bus at The Shore
We aim to create four high school surf teams of fifteen students each and offer sustained coaching support from regions of Los Angeles historically blocked from ocean access. Our project begins with an immersive surf camping trip to historic surf spot, San Onofre State Beach, for 60 student athletes. From there, we will host consistent monthly surf practices and twelve overnight weekend trips to The Shore Hotel in Santa Monica to get “contest participation ready” for the Ohana Nalu Surf Series, a group of six contests during the school year.
