Swimming and Surfing
The reality that children can live so close to the ocean and never get the chance to swim and play in the waves is heartbreaking, and ultimately was our impetus for creating the Las Tortuguitas Surf School. We work with young boys and girls of all ages to get them comfortable with the surf, and learn the mechanics and techniques of surfing. That first moment when they pop up on a surf board and ride a wave — it can be freeing, and empowering and life changing!!! We know the talents is there, we know the confidence is there, but it takes a great teacher and support of many to create the opportunity and to bring it all into that one moment when it all makes sense!
Where does your donation go?
INSTRUCTION
A large part of your donation goes to pay for the time of our instructor and fearless leader Andres. He is a professional surf instructor and spends most of his time away from Las Tortuguitas working with tourist families and their children teaching beginner and advanced sufing skills.
LAS TORTUGUITAS SHUTTLE
Some of your donation will go to pay for upkeep and maintenance on the Las Tortuguitas vehicle which makes the entire program possible. As many know, it is not cheap to keep a vehicle running in Costa Rica!
FOOD & BEVERAGES
Some of your money will go to feeding the children. Healthy eating and a diet that includes fruits and vegetables can make all the difference for young kids expending energy and trying new things.
EQUIPMENT
Some of your money will go to equipment including surf boards, leashes, fins and wax. We have been blessed with donations of boards, but the mainetance and upkeep is expensive.
OUTFITTING
Some of your money will go towards the printing and shipping of t-shirts and rash guards for our Tortuguitas. Whether they are wearing a sharp everyday t-shirt, or avoiding board scrapes and sunburn in a high-quality Las Tortuguitas rash guard, they are looking 100%!!!
