THE PROJECT OPENS NEW CONNECTIONS AMONG THE YOUNG SURFERS AND INCREASE THE SENSE OF BELONGING TO THEIR COMMUNITY
The Surfkids-shredding-senegal project was an idea born in 2019, when Aziz, a member of the Senegalese Surf Federation, realized how many talented children were surfing without the support of a surf club capable of providing them with good surfing equipment.
Aziz and Marta, founders of the Malika Surf Camp, discussed the possibility that the Malika Surf Camp can support 5 children with coaching, surfing materials and school education.
By sharing time with these children, Marta and Aziz realized the lack of education and motivation to go to school; as often the children spend the day at the beach, with a broken board, trying to surf big waves.

After a process of talking and sensibilization to the families of the kids, the ASC Malika Surf finally organized the project called Surfkids Shredding Senegal, that, with the support of the SKSS Foundation, is able to provide a weekly program which links surfing, training, school support and take part to some international competitions.
WE BELIEVE IN THESE KIDS AND WE BELIEVE THAT SURFING CAN OPEN LIFE OPPORTUNITIES TO THEM
