Description
WHO ARE WE?
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit Surf Therapy organization providing surf therapy, art therapy, eco therapy and yoga therapy to children and families of all abilities, on the autism spectrum, down syndrome, and the LGBTQ youth. We aim to create a world with kindness, love and happiness regardless of socio economic status.
MISSION
Gnome Surf is a 501c3 Non-Profit Surf Therapy Organization whose mission is to create a cultural shift toward kindness, love, and acceptance for all kids, of all abilities.
We accomplish this by providing families with surf therapy, art therapy, eco therapy, and yoga experiences locally and globally regardless of their socio-economic status.
We dream of a world where acceptance and kindness are the norm for individuals with special abilities. At Gnome Surf our athletes are free to be exactly who they are and their every dream is encouraged.
We have a world class research team, comprised of neurologists, doctors, and world renowned researchers and activists.
Our research team is responsible for defining and implementing therapeutic programming, collecting data from our athletes, and analyzing the therapeutic effects of surf therapy to advance the cause for individuals who benefit tremendously from its healing qualities.
WHERE ARE WE?
We are currently a growing surf therapy program with the aspiration to maintain our unique position as an individualized, personalized, and intimate program. We offer one-on-one surf lessons and small camps capped at 15 athletes.
We believe that surf therapy can be enhanced by building friendships and bonds that can only be created in these intimate settings. We have created over 300+ opportunities for our children and families to interact and socialize.
We are at a crucial point in our development where our founder, Christopher Antao, has put his own life savings on the line to purchase land in a Blue Zone of Costa Rica, a wellness mecca where we will build a tree house resort for families to rejuvenate and be educated on creating a cultural shift towards kindness, love, and happiness.
