Paddle Against Poverty Australia

Now in its 14th year CS Wollongong in Australia attracted almost 100 paddlers, who raised over $17,000 for Compassion Australia. They have effectively transitioned a CS event into a community event facilitated by CS. The Paddle Against Poverty has become a rite-of-passage for many surfers of the local area and has broad support from Surf Lifesaving, emergency services and local council.

Jesus Surf Classic UK

The UK Jesus Surf Classic was held this past weekend in Croyde, Devon. The Surf Classic has become so large they have had to split off the longboard event as a stand alone contest. Phil Williams, Dave Renyard and team are stoked to have generations of surfers pass through this event, being impacted with the gospel along the way. Check out more info online at the CSUK website and read a full report on Surfers Village. Spare an extra thought for Phil Williams on September 23rd as he joins 3 others for a fundraising paddle attempt of the English Channel (40 km+!!) Learn more and support here.
