Warrior Youth Stand Tall at Manly Beach
An enduring partnership between Charity Bounce and Tribal Warrior provided some very fortunate indigenous young school students a chance to Stand Tall at Manly Beach yesterday.
Charity Bounce happily gave school students associated with Tribal Warrior an opportunity to slip on a wetsuit, wax a board and learn to surf thanks to Hurley and world champion surf legend Barton Lynch.
Dry land instruction of surf conditions, how to catch and ride a wave was the first call of the day followed by Barton Lynch and Hurley instructors joining the youth in the surf as they carved up their first waves.
The talented youth managed to Stand Tall in the surf, even riding waves all the way into the beach – brilliant work for the first-timers!
We would like to thank Hurley, Barton Lynch and Tribal Warrior for providing memorable moments with us, supporting local indigenous young people and allowing them to continue to grow in confidence and learn that anything is possible if you give it a chance.
Charity Bounce is a not for profit organisation that exists to inspire positive change to overcome disadvantage for individuals and communities. With a focus on Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders and Culturally Diverse communities, including newly arrived refugees we aim to move people toward a more positive future through the development of sports, the arts, health, education and employment focused social programs.
