Our journey
Our journey started with the goal of training and mentoring unprivileged young surfers in our community. With support from the community, we provided the necessary gear and guidance. Over time, our efforts led to notable success in competitions, inspiring other children and parents, which prompted us to establish the Soul Surfers DR Academy. This academy allows us to reach more aspiring surfers.
