Building The Surf Community

KKC is proud to be involved in a movement which is designed to bring the surf community together. Kim Komick serves on the board of the South Bay Boardriders Club. Their mission: to introduce families, youth and our community to all aspects of ocean activities, and become guardians of our local shoreline.

On April 9, a group of over 300 people attended the inaugural meeting of the SB Board Riders. This group included such local surf legends as Mike Purpus, Ted Robinson and Chris Frohoff. Founder Mike Balzer told the Easy Reader, “We’re thinking the adult members can mentor the kids who want to be pro surfers, shapers, lifeguards or surf photographers. And we want to hold surf contests and beach days where our kids can meet other local kids who surf.” Other ideas, he said, include surf camping trips, beach cleanups, and surf, paddling and SUP lessons.

Surfing is typically seen as an individualistic sport; however, there is a great need for mentoring in our community. Many parents would like to teach their kids the wonders and benefits of the ocean, yet lack the knowledge themselves. A surf community offers yet another way for us to pass along hard earned knowledge, and build rapport with the younger generation. This is just one more way that we show respect for our beautiful beach cities.
