Laguna Beach Surf Club Travels to Costa Rica for Adventure with a Cause
April 14, 2008
PRESS RELEASE
Soul Surfing School of Laguna Beach recently returned from a week long surf trip over Spring Break to Costa Rica with Thurston and Laguna Beach High School students. The students explored the jungles of Manuel Antonio National Park on the Pacific coast discovering lots of wild creatures. Among them were monkeys, crocodiles, sloths, bats, iguanas, hawks, giant turtles and several scary bugs. Thurston student Jordan Wills was overheard saying while in the jungle, "this is like walking into an episode of the Discovery Channel."
The students got to help out a group of Costa Rican youth by pitching in to build a skateboard ramp in the town of Jaco and helping landscape a church property. Laguna High School student Wyatt Coloty on helping out said, "I'm stoked that we get to hang out with the local kids and build a skate ramp that they can ride and have fun on. I can't wait to go back and see how good the kids get at skating." The local youth center leader Doug Pena said that the skate park helps give the kids a fun and healthy option in a town that has it's share of drug issues amongst youth.
The surf was amazing in Playa Hermosa. Warm waters, sunny skies and friendly locals gave all the students and coaches lots to talk about over dinner each night. Coach Chris Williams commenting on the kids surfing during the trip: "when you travel far from home you really hope that there will be fun waves, this trip provided tons of great waves and memories."
The plane ride home was filled with laughter, recounting of best waves, and bonds that will last a lifetime.
