Newport Beach, California (KABC) — Surfers crowd the beaches, especially in the winter, when the tide is high and the waves are even bigger.

Giselle Carrillo, Vanessa Yeager, and Cassie Comley started Courage Camps to create a Latino surf community in Southern California and offer free lessons to break the stigma of surfing.
