Huntington Beach City Junior Lifeguards Get Slyde Handboards

Boards for the Huntington Beach Junior Lifeguards

These are five of the coolest groms we have ever met.  It was Mathew’s birthday, and we delivered his brand new Envy Board to his front door!  Here he is with four of his mates, all super stoked to be rocking Slyde in Huntington Beach. These guys are the future!

As most of you know already, Slyde Handboards is a sponsor of the Huntington Beach Lifeguards.  However, now we are firm sponsors of the Huntington Beach City Junior Lifeguards.  Huntington Beach City Lifeguards Veteran of 23 years Pedro Jiron was on hand to show me the stoke that ensued when the Junior Lifeguards of 2012 received their Slyde Handboards donation.

Honestly, it was an absolute honor to see how much fun the kids were having on their boards: 250 kids all getting wet and having a blast in the shore break.  At one point, I had ten kids around me, asking how they could get into bodysurfing and get themselves their own handboards. Bodysurfing, and especially handplane surfing, is breaking new boundaries in all areas, but particularly bodysurfing in Orange County California and Huntington Beach are seeing a huge increase in the sport.  If Slyde Handboards has even a small impact on a kid going out into the water for the day instead of playing on a Play Station, we will be beyond stoked.
