Hey friends,

Today I'm stoked to be able to compete on the World Surf League Championship Tour, but my journey started on the beachfront in Durban.

I moved to the beachfront when I was 10 years old, and in so many ways, I grew up alongside the Surfers Not Street Children program. I spent countless days surfing with these kids, watching them grow, and seeing firsthand the incredible impact this program has on their lives

It’s incredibly special to see how many lives Surfers Not Street Children has transformed, and to watch the program continue to grow and create opportunities for so many young people.

Now, some incredible surfers from the program have taken another huge step towards their dreams. They’ve been selected to represent ESA at the SA Champs, where they’ll have the opportunity to compete for a South African title, and have also earned the incredible honour of representing South Africa at the ISA World Games.

Seeing these young surfers reach this point is incredibly special, knowing how far they’ve come and how much surfing and this program have given them. ❤️

They’ve worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and now they need our help to make their dream of representing their country a reality.

Can you help support them in getting to the SA Champs and ISA World Games. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a difference and mean so much to these young surfers.

Let’s help them get there and give them the opportunity to chase this dream. ❤️

Luke
