Save the Children Ceduna Style

In May 2013 the Quiksilver Foundation wanted to put money into the Save the Children Australia program and aid unprivileged children in remote areas.  They wanted to run the Vegemite SurfGroms programs in a number of areas.  We at Great Ocean Road Surf Tours were asked to run a program in Ceduna, South Australia for 43 kids.
We travelled 2 days straight and ran a program for 2 days.  It was an amazing experience with half the kids being from the local Indigenous community everyone had a blast and hopefully they have learned a lot about surfing, beach safety and ocean awareness.
Hopefully we get to go back again next year and do it all over again!
