Christian Surfers at the US Open!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The 2009 Hurley US Open of Surfing was the best contest
Huntington Beach has seen in years! The over 400,000 people who
attended experienced firsthand world class surfing, along with
the surf culture and lifestyle most dream about.

In the midst of this larger than life event, a small 10×10 booth
carried a message of hope for a culture that is longing for
meaning and purpose. Christian Surfers
[http://www.christiansurfers.com], Walking on Water
[http://www.walkingonwater.org], Cobian Sandals
[http://www.cobianusa.com], Truth Soul Armor
[http://www.truthsoularmor.com] and Maxx Digital
[http://www.maxxdigital.com] "united " to meet this need. Our 50
missionaries armed with boxes of Joey Buran's LIFT magazine and
Bethany Hamilton's DVD, were able to gift thousands of people
with free swag that is geared to help people overcome adversity
and search for the real reason they were created.

Special thanks to our missions team who worked relentlessly for 4
days in reaching out to the surfing community. They served in
love where and when needed with the hope to expand the heavenly
kingdom. Stay tuned in the weeks ahead for video interviews with
some top names in our sport at www.christiansurfers.com

Chapter in Focus: Galveston, Texas
-----------------------------------------------------------------
What's it like being a surfer from Texas? First, everyone
thinks you surf behind supertankers because there aren't any
waves in Texas, right? Well, 200 days a year waves are breaking
in Texas and 99% of Texas surfers have never surfed behind a
supertanker!

The Galveston CSUS chapter started in 03' in the wake of an
Outsiders movie showing. A unique leadership group made up of
multiple denominations and churches, they embody what God can do
in a group of Christian Surfers that operate in unity. Hurricane
Ike tested their mettle but through it they were able to love on
the other Texas residents and surfers. Check out more of what
Jay has to say HERE [http://www.christiansurfers.com].
