Foster kids Catch Waves Thanks to ‘More Than Conquerors Surf’

VENTURA, Calif. (KEYT) – More than Conquerors hosted a Ventura surf session on Saturday.

The group serves foster youth and others.

"We could not ask for a better day to take these kids surfing we are working with adoptive families, kids in foster care and human trafficing victims as well and so they get to come down to the beach and experience all that surfing has to offer," said MTC Surf founder Elle Miller.

Miller used to teach kids from orphanages to surf in Mexico.

She created the nonprofit that hosts regular events to share the love of the sport that can be healing.

They taught children to surf at Faria Beach in Ventura County.

The event follows a major fundraiser they called rise with the tide.

They are saving up for two new surf vans to take kids to and from beaches up and down the coast.
