Letter from the National Director
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Due to record donations in 2008 Christian Surfers has decided,
with very little prayer, to begin construction on a new retreat
center. This facility will house both the National Office and an
Outreach/Discipleship facility. The central component will be a
new wave pool. We have already opened talks with the ASP about
holding a WCT event here in the near future. Phase one has gone
beautifully (the pool is nearly finished) and phase two is
scheduled to begin this month (the parking garage). We continue
to purchase land for future expansion (as land prices are
excellent right now in central Alabama where the facility is
located). Photos and stories will follow soon. You may donate
to this project thru the CS web site
[http://christiansurfers.com]. If you have any questions please
email April-Fools@CS.com [info@christiansurfers.com].

Chapter in Focus: Newport Beach
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Barrels in the middle of the OC, Newps has been and remains the
industry heavy hitter's favorite spot. While Huntington has the
reputation for being the global center of "the industry", Newport
is where they live and come to surf.
CS Newport thrives on a philosphy of truly surrendered surfing,
at surf days some of their members don't even bring boards so
that they can hang at the tent and share their faith in Jesus
Christ! The fruit of their labor is seen in many testimonies of
surfers coming to know Jesus on the sand. CLICK HERE to read
more about this CS chapter!
New 5? Series: Chuck Berand

It's back, the 5? series! This month's installment features

Chapter in Focus: Sebastian Inlet
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Why do so many of the best surfers in the world seem to come
from the East Coast and in particular from Florida? Answer:
Sebastian Inlet.
In this month's Chapter in Focus we are interviewing CS
Sebastian Inlet's own Tripp Hernandez. CSSI draws members from
Melbourne Beach, Vero Beach as well as Ft. Pierce. They also
have a singular passion for evangelism and outreach which results
in them helping out at the many, many contests that come through
Sebastian Inlet. Click here [http://www.christiansurfers.com] to
read more.
Action Sports Retailers San Diego
-----------------------------------------------------------------
At ASR this year we decided to shift focus from what the industry
could do for us to what we could do for the industry. January's
show launched this new approach. Starting each day with a "booth
to booth" coffee service, it allowed us to make new friends and
get reacquainted with others. Teams also walked the show silently
praying for people, and from our booth we passed out evangelical
surf DVD's, information about and how to join CSUS.
The most impact came as we offered to help exhibitors move out of
their booth spaces. People seeing us in yellow shirts at work,
started calling from all areas for help. What a blessing for the
35+ volunteers to be used by God to help people and to
demonstrate the love of Jesus!
If you would like to get involved in a relevant way and make a
difference at ASR (West Coast) or Surf Expo (East Coast) please
contact us at info@christiansurfers.com.

Chapter in Focus: Santa Barbara
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Santa Barbara has a lot of history, it is the first CSUS chapter
started, way back in 1984! Matt Coleman has been the chapter
director now for three years and was a grom in the original
chapter. His passion to serve comes from seeing himself in the
young surfers, where he came from, the importance that CS role
models played in his own life and a desire to pass on that
heritage of serving Jesus in love.
SB is known currently for picking kids with leadership potential,
grooming and discipling them to have an impact for Christ in the
influential SB surf scene. Full of frothing groms between the
ages of 12-17, trips like their annual Jalama campout are always
a lot of fun! Check out their blog at
christiansurferssb.blogspot.com/

every day with homemade cinammon rolls, French toast and chili.
The Praise Report was that CSSI was able to serve the competitors
and spectators throughout the event with great appreciation. We
had over 30 people sign up for the email list, sold a dozen CS
tees and passed out over 40 Noah's Arc DVD's. We also had some
great conversations with with the surfers and others attending

Report from Surf EXPO
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Surf EXPO may have been the best tradeshow to date. As always we
had many meaningful conversations with thousands of individuals
at the show, but the highlight was our new service opportunity.
We printed up some very noticeable florescent color shirts and
told the different exhibitors that the individuals wearing them
were at the show to help. In love we were able to assist many
different companies in breaking down their booths.
CSUS was also able to give away 500 evangelistic DVD's, 450
Channel magazines as well as hundreds of stickers and brochures.
The last day of the show we had the opportunity to worship with
Vero Beach Calvary Chapel in an early morning service. These same
things will be taking place in San Diego at the ASR Show.
