Surf Haiti

When. my friend. Heather and I started talking about going back to Haiti we wanted to see different organizations that are helping Haiti. Heather lives near the ocean and beach life is normal living for her and her family so it was no surprise that she found out about a ministry that is centered on surfing.

Surf Haiti's main base is close to the missionaries in Jacmel that we were staying with. So one of our days out was to visit the beach and see how they were doing. They are teaching the Haitians to not only surf but also to maintain and repair surf boards. The goal is to have a thriving business that will encourage tourism in Haiti thus helping the economy.

They have a "club house" up the mountain where they can hang out and visiting workers / missionaries can stay. I don't have a lot of information on the founders and don't want to give inaccurate information about them so I found their facebook page and have linked it to this page so you can check it out if you're interested.
