City Surf Project
About Us
Mission
We teach underrepresented youth in San Francisco valuable life skills through the sport of surfing. By learning to ride waves, students will build self-confidence and discover tools necessary to overcome boundaries, both in and out of the water.
Not only do we seek to offer a physical education program in schools that do not provide a PE class, we aim to connect students with nature, teaching them to use the ocean as a stress reliever and a meditative outlet.
Students will complete a physical education program, developing an ethic of hard work and perseverance. Ultimately, our goal is to help youth bring the skills they learn riding waves back to their everyday life in order to relieve stress, positively cope with trauma, and maintain a positive mental state.
Values
- Respect for Nature
- Healthy Lifestyle
- Personal Growth
