MBUSO ZOZI: Mbuso DARED TO DREAM AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM!!

NOW WITH YOUR SUPPORT WE CAN MAKE IT POSSIBLE!!

ISA WORLD LONGBOARDING CHAMPIONSHIPS 18th to 25th April 2024 Surf City El Sunzal, El Salvador.

Beautiful Cape Town, a postcard perfect city bathed is sunshine, hides another reality. In the shadows of Table Mountain, poverty and gang violence grip many communities, stealing they hope and opportunity from young lives. But amidst the darkness, a beacon of hope shines bright: Mbuso Zozi, a talented longboarder ready to represent South Africa at the ISA WORLD Longboarding Championships.

Mbuso's Dream:

MBUSO HAS COME TO THE VERGE OF MAKING HIS IMPOSSIBLE DREAM A REALITY!!

Mbuso Zozi, a talented longboarder from Vrygrond, Cape Town, a small coastal community situated in the Ganglands of the Cape flat's. He has been selected to represent South Africa at the prestigious ISA World Longboarding Championships in El Salvador! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for him to compete against the best in the world and bring home glory for his country. Mbuso's journey is extraordinary. From the harsh realities of Vrygrond, he rise above his circumstances, honing his surfing skills through sheer determination and passion. He isn't just chasing a dream; he"s carrying the aspirations of his community on his shoulders.

The challenge: Mbuso faces a financial hurdle of R120000 to cover his travel expenses,equipment, and various other expenses crucial for his journey. He is solely responsible for expenses such as return flights from Cape Town to San Salvador Surf City, a USA transit visa, travel insurance, extra baggage charges for his longboards and airport transfers. A new custom Longboard as a backup and board bags. Contest entry fee, accommodation, food and spending money. Quite a hill to climb!

Driven by a spark of hope:

Mbuso age 11 years old, along with his brother Lele, embarked on a remarkable journey. They joined an outreach program run by Surfshack Surfschool situated on the beautiful and world - renowned learn-to-surf beach Muizenberg, the birthplace of surfing in South Africa. This was the catalyst for Mbuso's love for SURFING and the pathway out of dispair to becoming a talented contest surfer, respected Surf Coach and Senior Manager at Surfshack.
