About Christian Surfers

  The perfection of the ocean and the waves which

  rise up and break with such energy are evidence enough.

  At Christian Surfers UK we are a group of full-on surfers

  who are also committed Christians and we see God’s

  signature written all over his creation.

  Our desire is to experience this amazing God for

  ourselves through a personal relationship with his son

  Jesus Christ. Our aim is therefore a simple one: to tell

  other surfers that they too can have a relationship

  with Jesus Christ.  

  We are not a church, but our members represent a wide

  range of different churches to which they belong.  However,

  it is a main objective to bridge the gap between the beach

  community and the church.

  We are clear that we are not Christians because of

  any of the good things we might have done, nor that

  we go to church. God saves us by his grace alone.

  Christian Surfers UK exists to be a Christian presence and

  witness to the entire surfing community, within the UK,

  Ireland and Europe. We are evangelistic in intent, majoring

  on Christ, the Gospel, and the Bible.

  We encourage surfers to reach other surfers, with a

  culturally relevant message. We submit to Christ through

  servanthood, rather than serving the sport of surfing through

  selfish ambition. We integrate with our local communities,

  while creating a Christian community for outreach. We are

  committed to loving one another. We are locally based and

  accountable through many Christian church denominations.

  We are transforming the wider surfing culture by both

  individual conversions as well as influencing our sub-culture.

  We are working with God and what he is already doing

  through others, while respecting and partnering with other

  ministries.

  Our ministry is based on serving others through relationship.

  We are a 'bottom up movement' empowering and

  developing the local ministry level. We are mobilising

  Christian volunteers for outreach, while helping them fulfil

  their God given calling and potential.

  "I accepted Jesus

  Christ at Calvary

  Chapel in Melbourne.

  I find that when I know

  his will is being done in

  my life, satisfaction is

  guaranteed".

  When interviewed about why he thanked

  God as the first person acknowledged in

  his world title CJ Hobgood said, "He

  pretty much is my life, and I try to be on

  his path. He has

  given me

  everything that I

  have, this has

  nothing to do with

  me at all..."
