In this episode of Tamarindo, we sit down with Giselle Carrillo, an educator, surfer, and founder of Los Courage Camps, an initiative aimed at creating equity in the surfing community. Giselle shares her personal journey from growing up in East Los Angeles to discovering surfing later in life, and how it transformed her sense of courage and purpose. We discuss how Los Courage Camps offers free surf lessons to children from underserved communities, helping them build confidence, leadership, and self-advocacy skills. Tune in as Giselle talks about the powerful connection between the ocean and personal growth, and her mission to make surfing accessible for all.
