Crew returns from Home of Hope!
Indo Jax surf crew returns to Wilmington following a life-changing charity surf camp for the girls at the Home of Hope orphanage in India (the girls had previously been living on the streets of India, forced into begging and prostitution). Jack Viorel, Dave Houck, and Dale Carter from Indo Jax, and two sisters and twenty-three girls from the Home of Hope orphanage, journeyed over 200-miles in a bus to Varkala Beach in southwest India in order to experience the joys of surfing. And what an experience they had! Completely unfamiliar with surfing, and most unable to swim, the girls were guided through their fear and apprehension as they took to the water. At first tentative, they were soon riding waves with confidence, a huge smile on their faces as their orphanage friends and the sisters cheered them on. After three memorable days of surfing, we all piled into the bus for our return trip to the orphanage, the girls singing and dancing the entire way in celebration of a new life experience that will no doubt empower them to take on even greater challenges.
