Some folks from the East Coast were in Cayucos recently, putting on a 3-day surf camp to introduce special needs kids to the joys of surfing and frolicking in the ocean. Indo Jax Surf School of Wilmington, N.C. began in 2006 at Wrightsville Beach on the Atlantic Coast, according to the company’s website.

“We pride ourselves on safety, quality of instruction, and attention to detail,” reads the company website (see: www.indojaxsurfschool.com). “We enjoy being members of the surfing community along the Cape Fear Coast and do our best to improve the quality of life for the folks who live here, as well as do our part to make this a top notch travel destination.”

Indo Jax teaches kiteboarding as well as surfing. The camp was one of three similar surf camps that are taking place now, with Operation Surf Camp in Morro Bay and AmpSurf for veterans and other amputees, set for this weekend in Pismo Beach.
