In Today’s Sunday Spotlight, we will learn a lit

In Today’s Sunday Spotlight, we will learn a little bit about Tomás, CSP pioneer student and now alumni instructor. Here is his story:
...
How did you first get connected with CSP?-
I was actually one of the first students to be with CSP before CSP was a program. Johnny was a teacher at my high school, Leadership High. At school we had a ‘Week Without Walls’ where we could pick one fun activity to do for one whole week. Johnny mentioned to the class that he surfs on his own time and some of us students showed interest in actually trying to learn how to surf. That’s where Johnny got the idea of adding surf outings for ‘Week Without Walls”. He was able to get this done and my friends Tre’von, De Mario, Teonte’ and I instantly signed up without hesitation! From there we participated and it was a complete success! Everybody enjoyed learning how to surf and we told Johnny to add this activity again for next year since ‘Week Without Walls’ only happened once a year. After our week of surfing, CSP was born and the rest was history!
...
What keeps you motivated to surf?-
Surfing is a great way for me to get a workout in and its great to see how I can continue to improve my surfing abilities. Surfing has always been a fun way to get some exercise especially since my gym is closed due to COVID. Surfing also helps my mental health. Whenever I feel like there is stress building up from what life throws at me, I am always able to go the beach and get a surf sesh in. I always feel a lot more relaxed and at peace with myself after getting wet. Plus, I want to improve my surfing skills. It’s cool to see my own skills develop as the time I put in starts to show in my surfing. I take that mindset in and out of the water in whatever I want to achieve. You got to put in the time!

Alumni instructor spotlight ahead! Meet Tre’von,

Alumni instructor spotlight ahead! Meet Tre’von, one of CSP’s newest alumni instructors from the first round of our training program. Tre has been surfing with the CSP family since before 2013—that’s a year before CSP came together as a formal organization!
…
1) How did you get started with CSP?
I was a freshman at Leadership High School and Johnny was actually my homeroom advisor. I found out Johnny was really into surfing and when the yearly school event called “Week Without Walls” came up, surfing became an option provided by Johnny and Big Dog Surf Camp. After that I continued to surf every year in high school on the end-of-the-year trips and throughout the semester.
2) Now that you’re an alumni instructor, what has that experience been like? What are you excited about doing with CSP next?
Being an Alumni and one of the oldest members of CSP feels great, especially when I see kids in a position I used to be in and experiencing all that I got to in high school as well. I'm happy to see everyone grow at this sport and enjoy the ocean for what it is.
3) What's something that surfing has taught you?
Surfing taught me to be cautious of my surroundings and it gave me a newfound love for being present on the beach and in the ocean. It makes me humble to partake in what the ocean is and all the unknown of it. It is truly a sight that everyone should see.
4) What’s something that you hope to teach others through surfing? I hope to teach others to look out for one another, to have fun in the ocean, and be okay with being afraid of the ocean. I believe people should embrace that fear of the ocean and know that there are so many wonders and so much learning from fearing something like the ocean.
...
Thanks for sharing with us, Tre'von! We're so honored and excited for you to continue with CSP as an alumni instruction.
