Prep School Report
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Christian Surfers Prep School '09 kicked off the first weekend of
August. It was an extended weekend that everyone wishes could
have been longer! Sadly, the waves weren't top notch.
Nonetheless, there were some fun ones to be had—particularly on
Saturday.
Groms from up and down the East coast were able to show their
stuff on a clean little Outer Banks swell in picturesque blue
water. When the waves weren't working, the indoor skate park with
a smooth 'wavelike' bowl corner seemed to keep everyone stoked.
Even so, the highlight of the trip was surely the teaching and
fellowship. Both groms and leaders learned valuable and practical
ways to love their neighbors more like Jesus. Dean Plumlee (CS
National Director), lead the weekend's training sessions with the
help of Andy Butler. It was simple, it was practical, it was
genuine, it was Jesus. Check out the pics, CLICK HERE!

Talkin' Story: Surf Expo
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dustin Bryson volunteered this year to work with the CS crew at
Surf Expo. They helped on the final day to break down booths for
four hours! He came away having personally learned why it is

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].

Letter from the National Director
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I spent the last six days with Nic Mclean (creator of Noah's Arc
- the surf video). I was thinking about how God gave Nic a
passion to make surf videos. Through his obedience and the
obedience of many others, Noah's Arc was created. Through the
obedience of the people at Walking on Water the video was brought
to the world. Through the obedience of CS chapters and churches
the video toured the world. Through the obedience of CS members
people were loved on and invited to attend showings of the movie
and tens of thousands of people met Jesus. Two things struck me
- 1. the strategic planning of God and 2. the obedience of the
saints. Through that everyone wins - people find joy and God
gets glory. So, where has God strategically placed you today and
are you obeying? Remember through obedience you find joy and God
gets glory!
Chapter in Focus: Manasquan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cold barrels, hardcore surfers, Dean Randazzo and Casino Pier all
come to mind when thinking of Jersey. The Manasquan chapter has
been around now for 5 years plus and is currently headed up by an
on-fire Brazilian, Nestor Wagner. Made up of mostly older folks
they have a unique summer outreach which consists of FREE!!! surf
lessons and loving on people. Their approach to following Christ
is as committed as surfing through winter water temps in the high
30's. CLICK HERE [http://www.christiansurfers.com] to get to
know more about Manasquan!

Letter from the National Director
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I spent the last six days with Nic Mclean (creator of Noah's Arc
- the surf video). I was thinking about how God gave Nic a
passion to make surf videos. Through his obedience and the
obedience of many others, Noah's Arc was created. Through the
obedience of the people at Walking on Water the video was brought
to the world. Through the obedience of CS chapters and churches
the video toured the world. Through the obedience of CS members
people were loved on and invited to attend showings of the movie
and tens of thousands of people met Jesus. Two things struck me
- 1. the strategic planning of God and 2. the obedience of the
saints. Through that everyone wins - people find joy and God
gets glory. So, where has God strategically placed you today and
are you obeying? Remember through obedience you find joy and God
gets glory!
Chapter in Focus: Manasquan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cold barrels, hardcore surfers, Dean Randazzo and Casino Pier all
come to mind when thinking of Jersey. The Manasquan chapter has
been around now for 5 years plus and is currently headed up by an
on-fire Brazilian, Nestor Wagner. Made up of mostly older folks
they have a unique summer outreach which consists of FREE!!! surf
lessons and loving on people. Their approach to following Christ
is as committed as surfing through winter water temps in the high
30's. CLICK HERE [http://www.christiansurfers.com] to get to
know more about Manasquan!

Letter from the National Director

Sometimes I find that I get very focused on the the small dot in
front of me and miss the bigger picture. Sometimes I forget that
Jesus said, HE would build HIS church and that nothing would stop
it. HE went on to say that I'm simply to "remain" in HIM. It's
not my job to draw the lost but merely to love them and share the
Good News with them. Sometimes my days don't go so well and I
think, "is Christian Surfers doing enough or doing anything for
that matter?"
This week I was working on the praise reports from 2008. To me,
those numbers represent faces and stories, opportunities and the
"brick and mortar" of God glorifying Himself and man enjoying it.
I was blessed as I added up simply one catagory - outreaches and
chapter meetings. These are event where CSUS members
intentionally love on people and truth goes forth. In 2008 this
scenario occured 1,369 times all over the United States. Wow!
God is building HIS Kingdom. I'm just glad I get be a part of
it.

Chapter in Focus: Jacksonville
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hailing from N. Florida along with Gabe Kling and Asher Nolan, CS
Jacksonville is a diverse group that ensures that every surfer
they come across is reached with the love of Jesus.
Started back in 1996 by Jon Culbreth and Donny Oxley, original
members still serve with passion and commitment while discipling
a new generation such as interim director Trey Brunson. Involved
in outreaches with Life Rolls On, the National Kidney Foundation
and mission trips to Cuba, CS Jacksonville has a lot to share.

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!
