SurfSnowHouseXchange.com launches house exchange website for the surf and snow cultures

SurfSnowHouseXchange.com the world’s first and only house exchange website for the surf and snow cultures. Ex-pro surfer and owner Navrin Fox came up with idea of Surf Snow House X-Change, ‘I now have a family but I still have an incredible thirst for travel. With the current state of the world economy it’s really expensive to travel.

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE (FINF) is partnering with Surf Diva, INT Softboards and the La Jolla Shores Hotel to sponsor an annual surf program called the Little Warriors Surf Camp in order to provide children of wounded and fallen service members with an escape from the daily reminders of why they’re different from other children. The camp gives these special children a fun and physically challenging outlet that they might not otherwise have been afforded.

Additionally, at the conclusion of the camp, each child will receive his or her own surfboard so that they can continue to live the surfing lifestyle – one that encompasses sport, spirituality, physical fitness and emotional well-being. The camp will take place at Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores, CA, from August 10-14, 2009. One child and his or her parents will receive an all-expenses paid trip to San Diego to attend two days of camp, a visit to Sea World or the world famous San Diego Zoo, and dinner at La Jolla’s finest restaurants, including world-famous George’s at the Cove, courtesy of FINF and the La Jolla Shores Hotel. The La Jolla Shores Hotel is graciously donating four nights in an oceanfront room to the winner of the essay, “What Freedom Means to Me.” Details for this contest are posted to the FINF web site.

Additional sponsors, Wahoo’s Fish Tacos, Sector9 Skateboards, Bessell Surf, Sticky Bumps Wax and Mitch’s Surf Shop will also participate…  Details

Beachgoers flocked to the Jersey Shore this weekend, but none enjoyed themselves as much as a group who gathered on the beachfront to catch a wave, some for the first time.

The Life Rolls On Foundation held its second annual “They Will Surf Again” [TWSA] event at Pier Village in Long Branch on June 28, and according to a post-event press release, more than 25 participants and 200 volunteers gathered to make a day of surfing possible for people with spinal cord injuries.

“Injured athletes from around the country gathered together for a day of surfing. Some have not surfed since their injury, some have never surfed, some surf all the time despite their varying mobility,” according to the Life Rolls On website…  Details
