Jack Johnson reconnects with the SF crew in Brazil
When Jack tours he engages with locals. He does this by connecting on local issues, offering support of every kind to these causes and ends up leaving an positive impression on locals. In some cases he goes back to those same people. He did this recently in Brazil.

How do you get more than a thousand locals to an event?
Surfrider's goal is connecting people to the coastal conservation movement. We love it when we see that done well. The HB/SB chapter does it well with their annual Ohana event.
