Episode 22 | Surf community and being-human. Featuring founder of Surfers not Street Children. Tom Hewitt MBE.

Tom Hewitt, legend, ripper, true altruist and all round great bloke drops In to chat, shortboarding, surf community and SUPing. With a stellar and dedicated team Tom runs an amazing organisation https://www.surfnotstreets.org/ in South Africa and Mozambique using Surfing as a hook to get kids off the streets and out of addiction. A real surf for good ambassador but one who wears this with honesty, openness and a smile.

We discuss whether us surfers are as chilled as we think we are? Or are we simply a reflection of society encompassing the good and the bad elements of all that goes with that.

Tom and the boys mull the ups and downs of being human, the positive vibe warriors and life during lockdown. There is conversation of underrated British surf scene, welcoming breaks and the great vibes that grom packs are bringing to line ups. Teaching grizzled ‘take life too seriously’ humans, how to rip and still have fun. Feeling the surf school happy vibe. And despite all of our passions for surfing we also have to accept when our own kids are simply not into it.

Surfers not street children survive on donations, the price of a couple of rounds of drinks a month makes a huge difference to the lives of kids who really need it.. ..
