When your snowboard trip is not only downhill … when you are just looking to flow with nature … when you just want to be a part🧩 you go outside of your parameters with someone who know your inside-outs … into the an unknown environment which can reveal something you were always looking for to share with others. #jacksonhole #losangeles #manhattanbeach #venicebeach #codypeak

Hi! My name is Andre and I’m 5 years old.
I was waiting for a loooong time to go to my first surf camp.
My big brother came here when he was 5 too and he told me it’s soooo much fun.
I met my teachers and first I did boogie boarding. My teacher was always right next to me.
Then the waves were really little and Gilad told me I should go paddle out.
I was a little bit scared but we took the big board with Coach Liad and we went out deep with so many kids.
On the third day we surfed on the white water and it was low tide. It was soooo much fun! Gilad was on the back of my board the whole time.
I thought surf camp was gonna be fun but I didn’t know it would be a BLAST!
I’m coming back next week for sure!#santamonica #losangeles #venicebeach #manhattanbeach #learntosurf #itshappening #generationshrederetion #kids #surfing #surf #surfcamp #surfkids

Excitement. Fulfillment. Friendship. Pure joy in nature.
Some things are hard to put into words—and that’s exactly what Freedom Surf Camps are all about.
It’s about living the moment. Laughing with old and new friends. Sharing the thrill and freedom that only the ocean—or the mountains—can bring to a young human heart.
🌊 Week 2 was amazing… and Week 3 kicks off this Monday!
Spots are filling fast—don’t miss the wave!

We love what we do, and we do what we love♾️ If yo

We love what we do, and we do what we love♾️
If you ever wonder whether it’s true love, look at your impact.
When friends, family—even strangers—are touched by what you share,
you know you’ve tapped into unconditional love—
the glue that holds every deep inner experience together. Hoping to sea this summer.
