Cobian Footwear is proud to present the Salt + Light Movement at Surf Expo, a celebration of faith, purpose, and giving back. Join us Thursday, January 9, 2025, at 4:00 PM at The Stage at Surf Expo in Orlando, Florida, for an inspiring showcase of how small acts of service can create a lasting impact.
The event will feature uplifting stories from Cobian ambassadors whose meaningful acts of service are making a difference around the world:
– Bethany Hamilton, champion surfer and motivational speaker, and how her Beautifully Flawed Foundation empowers individuals with limb differences to find strength and purpose.
– CJ & Damien Hobgood, twin surfing icons, and their impactful Surf & Serve trip to Baja, blending adventure with meaningful service to local communities in partnership with My360Project.
– Dennis Martinez, Hall of Fame skateboarder, and his transformative work in prison ministry, bringing hope and restoration to those behind bars.
– Johnny Campbell, 11-time Baja 1000 champion, and his dedication to giving back through the Baja Beach Bash, which supports the Rancho Santa Marta Orphanage, providing essential care for children in need.
– Jacob Turner, a rising surf talent from Kauai, and his passion for mission trips to Nicaragua with Surfers for Salvation, combining surfing with heartfelt service to impoverished communities.
Through compelling video stories and live storytelling with WSL World Champion CJ Hobgood, attendees will gain insight into the Salt + Light Movement and how it inspires action and creates meaningful change. Attendees can also enter to win an unforgettable trip to serve alongside Cobian ambassadors at a future Salt + Light event, experiencing the joy of giving back firsthand.
