☀️ healthy authentic living 🧡
🏄🏽‍♀️ personal growth🏄🏽

October is #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth, and we’re celebrating the rich culture and heritage of all of our #Filipinx students, staff, and community members. We talked to Jarryd, a CSP alumni and current Surf Instructor, and here’s what he had to say about his Filipino roots:
I grew up mostly not knowing much about my culture besides a few traditions and knowing my favorite Filipino dishes. Other than that, being born and raised in San Francisco I consider much of my culture to be American. I still take pride in my ethnicity. I take pride in the fact that I bring color and diversity to the line-ups all along the California coast. My dream as a American-born Filipino surfer is to take my first trip to my motherland one day, dive into the culture that I have so much to learn about, and hopefully adventure and duck dive under some waves along the way.

Want to support the #Filipinx surfing community? Returning Wave (originally called ‘Balikbayod’) is an initiative of @thewahineproject, and their mission is to make surfing more accessible to local youth in the Philippines while promoting education along the way. Have a board that can be upcycled? Check out @returningwave and contact them to donate or collaborate.

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!
