The Urban Surf 4 Kids Paddlefest 2014 was for such a great cause, an amazing group of kids. The SUP Connection provided 20 paddleboards

Urban Surf 4 Kids Paddlefest 2014

Urban Surf 4 Kids is a unique outreach organization that works with orphan and foster kids. Using water sports as a catalyst, we teach kids how to first have fun and then give back to their communities and neighborhoods through local service projects.

The result? Kids who are at risk for being forever branded “underpriveledged,” instead, become empowered.

Many of these kids came from gritty urban neighborhoods-thus the name–and would otherwise have zero chance of ever getting near a surfboard or learning how to swim. Many have never even been to the beach.
