00:15 Every kid in the world needs belonging.
00:17 They need purpose.
00:20 When I was 14, a professional surfer took me and a friend on our first surf trip to Hawaii.
00:26 The time that one of my heroes spent with me had a lasting effect on my life.
00:31 I knew that someday I wanted to do the same for two other kids.
00:35 And that day has now come.
00:38 A story of two young surfers.
00:40 This is my first time going somewhere really far away.

00:49 If you're going on a trip like this, you definitely need to have an open mind because anything could happen.

00:56 I look forward to surfing and just being able to see everywhere in the world and everybody's culture.
01:02 It's a dream come true.

01:05 I think we underestimate kids.
01:07 When I grow up, I want to be the world champion of surfing.
01:11 If we can give kids a foundation, you can conquer anything. You can do anything.
01:16 That's what I did. I made the choice and I'm stoked that I didn't give up on life.
01:21 I want them to see that there's more to life than surfing.
01:24 There's a whole other world out there that I want them to see and experience.

01:32 We live on like opposite sides of the globe, but really we have the same heart.
01:37 Luke and Tyler, doesn't care if you are white or black.
01:41 It does know that you are a human being.
01:43 You're invited to come along as they leave their school and discover the world is their classroom.

01:51 I didn't know grasshoppers can fly.
01:52 I know, I thought they only hopped.

02:04 I think every kid needs hope in a way.
