SURFERS DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING SCHOOL

Surf // See The World // Reach the Lost

We strongly believe we are called to influence every area of society. We believe the surfing community is one of influence that needs to be reached. We believe there is no better place to reach the surf community other than the Surfing Capital of The World… Hawaii, USA. Join the movement of Surfers reaching the lost in the water.
