Suft Trip
We tried to take the girls to surf every surf spot in El Salvador, to know the difference and type of waves to where we are exposed.
Suft Girls Contest
Once a year we do a surf girls contest, just for fun, just because we want to be JUST GIRLS IN THE WATER.
Suft Skate
We believe that skateboarding in the carver style improves our surfing, so do regulary skate sessions learning more and more.
International Fundraisers
Every month we organize and lead a fundraiser that raises money for the Daughters of the Sea. The money goes towards necessary surfing equipment, surfing competitions, skate equipment, and for necessary medical assistance.
We are taking the girls to medical appointments, as a dentist so that their body is in line with their mind, keep them healthy and create a habit in them so that they can take care of their body from now on.
Locals Mini Markets in El Sal
Every month we go in to a Mercadito and we sell our products.
100% of all proceeds will be used to continue maintaining the activities and programs of Hijas Del Mar.
Also we help them to buy their school supplies when the school year begins.
