Chadd Konig and Nole Cossart are following their hearts on a coastal paddle board odyssey from Gaviota to the Mexican border to raise awareness for NAPLES on the Gaviota Coast. They know this is a pristine part of California that could be ruined forever by planned development. Through the paddle they hope to share their passion for unspoiled space and spread the word about the importance of preserving what is left of our natural coastline.
Follow their journey by visiting www.savenaples.org where you can donate, learn more, share your thoughts and be part of the adventure.
 
The Surfer's Journal has leant their support. Starting now, 10% of anything you order from their website via the link below, will be given back to the Naples Coalition. Subscriptions, books, t-shirts - if you buy it, we'll get 10%. Their Reader Supported Publication and hardbound books make great Father's Day, Mother's Day or graduation gifts. And your gift will help save Naples. Click here:
