Surf Session #3

A south swell hit Southern California this past weekend, leaving us with some of the biggest waves we've seen in over a year! With safety being a key priority, we started off the day with opening circle and asking the youth if they noticed anything different about the beach today. They all commented on how the waves were way bigger than normal! We talked about the swell, rip currents, and staying safe in these conditions by only going in waist high water. We then broke off into small groups based on what month you were born. We asked each group to talk about how you know when someone is listening to them. Key factors were eye contact and asking questions. 

After initiation, we went to our small surf groups and did a beach cleanup. From there the youth stretched, practiced pop ups, and headed out into the water. The kids were charging!

After the surf session the youth and volunteers came in, enjoyed a delicious lunch from Kay and Daves, and played games of volleyball, football, and frisbee on the beach. 

After lunch and games, we wrapped up closing circle with a few announcements. This week's winners of the Bling Award were Raquel and Daisy (pictured below)! 

It was another gorgeous summer day and a great community of people to share it with. Thank you to all the youth, volunteers, and mentors who came out and made it such a wonderful day. You are what make us shine!
