You remember your first wave…
Think of a girl who grows up with few options in the summer.
She has no summer camps, family vacations, or a summer job.
Instead she has a hot one bedroom apartment shared with her mom and two brothers, with only the city streets to wander.
Now imagine that same girl spending her summer on the beach and surfing for the first time with STOKED, having the best summer of her life.
And think of what it’s like for her when she catches her first wave.
The feeling of conquering something that seemed so impossible only days, or even minutes before.
SURF Mentor is starting its 7th year this Saturday, July 7 in NYC and later this month in Los Angeles.
We’ll be sending a series of stories this summer to show you our amazing teens doing the impossible, overcoming their fears, and becoming successful.
Our SURF Mentor series will:
entertain & inspire
tell you how to get involved
be the best thing to hit your inbox this summer!
The first email is coming Thursday, July 5. Keep an eye out for it!
Forever STOKED,
“Stoked” Steve Larosiliere
Founder & President

P.S. Watch a 4 minute video from our very first SURF Mentor program in 2005 – featuring the music of Hugh Masekela. It has never been shown before.
