🎉 On top of all our events, we celebrated so many birthdays this past month! 🎉 Thank you Atongular for being the force of nature behind the scenes to make so much of our work possible. She is a dedicated organizer, instructor, and mentor who is gifted in bringing people together. Much love and gratitude to you Atong! 📸: @trevorlately Thank you Cyn for bringing so much joy and mentorship to our collective. We appreciate deeply all the work you’ve done and continue to do in providing water safety education and being a wonderful role model to all our mentees. 📸: @gabbypiamonte Thank you Alyssa for being a constant inspiration in the water ever since you’ve been little. As one of our OG mentees, you’re always teaching us mentors how to stay curious and determined. Can’t wait to see how you continue to grow and learn. 📸: @gabbypiamonte Thank you Kwamé for being an incredible mentor and leader in the water. We are so grateful for your dedication to sharing your wisdom and teaching our groms to be the next generation of skilled, responsible surfers. And last but certainly not least, thank you Aydon for starting this all and for being the ultimate surf dad. Without fail, you always show up, and you always build community wherever you go. We can never thank you enough for everything you’ve given to our collective and to the Rockaway community. 📸: @trevorlately A very happy belated birthday to you all! So much love and gratitude for this family. 💛✨
