AWARD CATEGORY: CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE

The Salty Souls Legacy “Standing Tall” surfing program offers vulnerable children & teens not only a chance to learn to surf, but a chance to heal. Being a 6 week program they are taught surfing & ocean skills, they engage with other children while learning. This is more than a program as they offer each child the chance to keep a surfboard of their very own, which enables them to continue surfing. With the coastline as their playground, they are given everything they need to be part of the strong surfing community. This is not about a “surf experience” it’s a new way of life. They will make friends, learn new skills & experience the healing powers of the ocean & learn to trust again.
