Gaza Surf Club.

December 8th, 2010 by sampaterson | Filed under News, Videos.

With bombed-out buildings lining the beach and heavily polluted water, Gaza is definitely not your regular surf destination. Gaza lies in the Middle East and since 2007, the residents have been living in hardship with the Israeli government sealing the borders due to the conflict with Hamas. For a group of 40 or so people, surfing seemed the only thing that provided an escape from the harsh reality and so the Gaza Surf Club was formed. In this humbling clip below from ABC News we get a look into the life of these surfers. Despite absolutely loving every chance they have in the water, these guys are also in desperate need of a few shooters so if you wanna help them out head on over to their website gazasurfclub.com
