Volunteering With Surf 4 Hugs | Sunset Suratt Surf School

Surf 4 Hugs is a volunteer organization that provides children with life-threatening diseases a break from the burdens of their medical concerns. They give kids a chance to enjoy activities like surf lessons, canoe rides, jet skiing, and visiting fun ocean-related venues like the aquarium—all complimented by event shirts, photos, food, and more. The organization held an event on June 9 and we were fortunate to be able to volunteer and help out. Check out this video by renowned videographer Peter King that provides a summary of the day!

Very fun for the family! We had the kids, youngest is 8. I was a bit worried about safety, but they have a good system of how they keep track of everyone and a 3:1 ratio. Everyone was able to stand up pretty quickly and the instructors were very good - friendly with great instructions. I think their price point is a bit higher than others, but I can't compare the quality. Definitely happy we did it and appreciated the team!read more

Uncle Bryan’s surf lessons provided the best experience my family had while on vacation. We were all novices and this was our first time surfing. Uncle Bryan was a wealth of knowledge of the north shore and surfing in general. Our instructors were also top notch. They played to each individuals strengths and made sure they got the best waves possible. We all can’t wait to come back and surf again, all thanks to Uncle Bryan and our instructors.read more

Great staff and perfect location for learning to surf. We were worried about the wind and high surf warning but the location was protected and had slow rolling waves perfect for beginners and out of shape tourists. The owners son was way cool and helpful. He even took my 5 year old out and caught a wave with him. It has been the highlight of his trip, he keeps rubbing it in to his big brother. These guys are great. Be careful who you pick to teach you also. There were some instructors on the beach that were super high and it was not weed (tweeker) all of our instructors had it together and had us surfing first wave we caught.read more
