Por qué operamos este programa en Point Loma
Point Loma's Sunset Cliffs coastline is too advanced for beginner instruction, but our Point Loma youth cohorts travel to OB Pier and Dog Beach for water sessions, with dryland instruction at Cabrillo National Monument and Point Loma Nazarene University (our educational partner). The Kumeyaay coastal history of the peninsula is woven into every Point Loma cohort curriculum.

Surf Athletic Scholarship en Point Loma — Lo que debes saber
College surf scholarship counseling for Point Loma teens navigates NCAA pathways, alternative scholarships, and honest pro-surfing industry reality — not fantasy branding workshops.
Contest travel costs from Point Loma to California circuit events — NSSA, WSA, regional qualifiers — are covered for scholarship athletes. Families aren't fundraising every weekend (on the coast inland adds transport costs Un Mar absorbs).
Por qué Point Loma importa para nuestra misión
Point Loma's Spanish-speaking households (17%) get parent communications in both languages, every time. Coastal access fails when language is treated as an afterthought.
Environmental justice in Point Loma isn't abstract: watershed health, beach closures, and plastic pollution affect the same communities we serve. Our programs connect surf skills to stewardship of San Diego's coastline.
