Giving Back

Chocó Surf League
While researching how Capricho could best give back, we were introduced to the Chocó Surf League. Capricho was born on a surf trip, and we share a passion and respect for the ocean and the environment. As such, it felt like the perfect fit and now a portion of every sale is donated to the Chocó Surf League.
About Chocó Surf League
The Pacific coast of Colombia is one of the country’s poorest regions. Basic needs are not met, and 85 percent of the population lives below the poverty line. Chocó uses surf and environmental education to empower its members to choose a positive path out of poverty. Serving more than 250 children and teenagers aged two to 25, Chocó provides opportunities for youth living in vulnerable conditions to feel the freedom, peace, and exhilaration of riding a wave. Chocó Surf League brings communities together while teaching its members the importance of taking care of the ocean and the environment.
