Surfing Laguna- Life Lessons in the Surf

Adam, Fins Free in Laguna.
Adam Mejia and Willy Hogan.


The following is an excerpt from a full story posted on souladventuresinc.bolgspot.com

Adam Mejia and Willy Hogan are two inseparable Laguna surf groms that are moving up the charts in the southern California competitive surfing scene.  Both are regularly seen brandishing trophies and awards from surf competions both locally and throughout the Golden state.  However this past weekend Adam and Willy went to a surf event and used their surf skills not to compete, but to spread some stoke to young people from Oceanside who's families struggle with homelessness.  
 
The event was organized by a group called Stand Up for Kids and the organizers wanted to provide a day for the kids that was different, fun and possibly even a brief respite from the difficult circumstances of being homeless.
