Surfing Stars To Teach Cystic Fibrosis Kids

A host of surfing stars will gather in Santa Monica tomorrow, July 30, to teach youngsters with Cystic Fibrosis how to surf.

Along with Children's Hospital Los Angeles, the Mauli Ola Foundation presents its Cystic Fibrosis Surf Experience Day to get children and young adults with cystic fibrosis out in the ocean water to have a great time. The ocean air, which is an elevated saline environment, facilitates the breakdown of mucus in patients’ lungs when inhaled.

Taking part in the event are Michael Papajohn (Spiderman, Thor), Kalani Robb (Surfer), Kala Alexander (Surfer), Teddy Navarro (Surfer), Brian “T-City” Ortega (Surfer), Josh Baxter (Surfer), Sunny Garcia (Surfer), Hans Hagen (Surfer), Shawn Ward (Surfer) and other surprise guests.

The event starts at 9am. To learn more, click here or see the flyer below.
