As the holidays approach its hard to forget that 1 in 4 kids in Santa Cruz County are going hungry. Grind Out Hunger is the charity we started and we support it 100%. 2009 over 130,000 pounds of food was raised to help feed hungry children in Santa Cruz County. 2010 we want to double that to 250,000 pounds and we are 500 pounds closer.

Tarp Surfing legends Homer Henard, Omar Etcheverry, Chris Killen Seth Migdail, Dana “SkimShady” and DK pull some major Tarp Kegs to raise money/food for Grind Out Hunger special thanks to Timmy of Aloha Island Grille for the killah grinds!!! The Chesters for the video production and Black Tide for the song!

Special appearances by Luke Rockhold, Bud Freitas, Kyle Thierman, FujiTV (from Japan), Seth Migdail, Tyler Fox and many many more that made the day seriously out of control!!!

Make sure you keep an eye out for the Skateboard Ramp Donation Station as it makes its way around the county. Here is a little video made for us by The Chesters with some Black Tide music…enjoy and get involved!
