A DAY AT THE SURF OUTREACH IN MUIZENBERG
A short documentary about the Surf Outreach project in Muizenberg, South Africa. The Surf Outreach is an organisation aimed at creating a safe space for children from the surrounding communities of Muizenberg, Western Cape, South Africa. "Our goal is to assist with personal growth in life skills and education. Our daily routine includes one hour of after school education, where we work closely with the schools to ensure that all school work and homework is up to date. This is carried out in an environment in which the children learn how to take control of their lives as well as their futures through positive influence and mentorship. We want to share the surfing lifestyle and culture it offers with others and have them experience the stoke." - The Surf Outreach

Bad Hit - Behind The scenes
