Bay Street at Santa Monica Beach was the scene of a lot of excitement and activity recently as 50 students and teachers from Jane Warner’s School in Alta Dena hit the surf for a day of fun in the sun and “hanging 10.”
After cleaning up the beach, the kids ranging in ages from 2 to 13 were treated to free surfing lessons by Rob Hoover and Mike Falkow, two former professional surfers and members of the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre International Surf Club.
Hoover said, “this school came here in April for our annual Earth Day cleanup in large numbers and with lots of enthusiasm despite the rainy weather and as result they won this ‘surf day’ over the other schools we had invited.”
