Join us in December of 2026 for a surf and serve in Ghana, West Africa – the country where parts of Endless Summer were documented. This trip will focus on serving a local surf school and teaching kids how to surf. There will also be opportunities to serve a local village through various projects and minister to them. Ghana is known for consistent, uncrowded and beautiful waves with warm waters. We will explore some of the popular local surf spots, with various left and right point breaks and lengthy beach breaks.

SAVE THE DATE

We will hold a Zoom meeting on Friday, November 7, for anyone interested in going on this trip.
