A friend of mine, Jack Viorel, has opened up a new surf school in the area, Indo Jax Surf School, that emphasizes giving back to the community. Indo Jax provides surf lessons and outreach to medically fragile inner city kids, breast cancer survivors, and others, gratis. Of course it also provides paid-for surf instruction for […]

We were contacted by a website the other day with what looks like a good idea:
