By now you have probably seen our social media posts...you know the one that said our Degree 33 Surfboards Team with support from Surfers Unite Rotarian Fellowship members is closing in on $40k raised, the one that said with 210 surfers they will break $400k for this fabulous non-profit.  Well maybe you missed that and a few pics.  It was a fantastic event and we so appreciate the UCHS Interact students who came to serve as volunteers, the countless Rotarians who donated to help us achieve these goals and all of our friends in the surf community for recognizing that it is from investing in the young lives of our teenage boys that we can change hearts and change lives.  Shakas to all the mentors who donate their time weekly and meet with at risk youth.  "The mentors are the real heroes.  Catching 101 waves sure isn't easy but neither is making a decision to live a purpose driven life."

Big Kahuna Lifetime Member Vince Ponce of the Rotary Club of Carlsbad Hi-Noon stopped by to cheer on the Degree 33 Surfboard team along with Paul Ambrogio as Kevin Frost competed yet again.  These guys are awesome!

Your 2019 Supergirl Pro winner was 17 year old Samantha Sibley of San Clemente who beat Tatiana Weston Webb in the Final.  It was epic!  Way to go Sam, congrats on becoming the youngest winner to wear the cape.  Photo credit: B. Morey Nikon D3300
