A traves de Just Add Water, la pelicula de uno de mis surfistas favoritos, Clay Marzo, conocí una ONG que me impactó mucho. Al final de la peli se ve como Clay Marzo, que tiene una enfermedad llamada Sindrome de Asperger, una clase de autismo, surfea con una tabla grande con niños con problemas mentales.
Casualmente hace poco, fui a pasar un finde a Santa Cruz, y me encontré a la ONG haciendo la actividad en la playa. Me quedé impactado. Niños autistas y con problemas mentales eran llevados a surfear con longboard en olas pequeñitas.
La cara con la que salian los niños era para flipar. Contentisimos. En la pelicula al final dicen que niños que en su vida han articulado palabra, al salir del agua han empezado a hablar…. Acojonante
Trough Just Add Water, the movie of one of my favourite surfers, Clay Marzo, I discovered a NPO called Ride a Wave. At the end of the movie you can see as Clay Marzo, who has Aperger Disease, a kind of autism, helps surfing some little kids with mental problems.
I happened to see them in Santa Cruz weeks ago. They were doing an activity with kids at the beach and I was impressed. Kids with autism and mental problems were taken to surf some little waves in longboards and it was awesome,
Just seeing their faces coming out the water was unreal. At the end of that movie they say that some kids that never talked a word, they come out of the water talking….Awesome
