O’Neill Cold Water Classic California 2010 - The Sea Odyssey Program

Mon, 11 Oct 2010 11:47:05 +0100

The ocean has done a lot for the O’Neill family and they wanted to give something back. So Jack O’Neill set up the Sea Odyssey Program. This program connects kids to the ocean, a lot of them have never been on a boat or on the ocean before. It teaches them how essential and important the ocean is. If they don’t understand it, they won’t be motivated to protect it. For example, one of their units is marine science, so the kids gather plankton and learn about the bottom of the food chain. And how things work at the bottom of the food chain, move up the food chain and affect through dolphins, fishes and humans. They learn about the natural system and the circle of life. How pollutants concentrate, how one form of life consumes another form of life and make them aware of how the eco system is interconnected. The Sea Odyssey Program is a fun, interesting and instructive way of introducing kids to ocean and environmental conservation.

O’Neill Cold Water Classic Canada 2010 - Tofino

Thu, 07 Oct 2010 10:49:53 +0100

The forth and penultimate stop of the O’Neill Cold Water Classic 2010 brings the series to the remote town of Tofino, Canada. The little fishing village is located on the stunning West Coast of Vancouver Island and is considered one of the best surfing spots in Canada. Tofino is a gem secluded in the province of British Columbia, Canada. At its doorstep is the Clayoquot Sound region, a world UNESCO biosphere reserve. They are right on the open Pacific Ocean, so when the surf comes in, it’s coming unchecked from hundreds of miles away. There was a 100 ft swell recorded off the North Coast of Vancouver Island, so when the storms hit here, they really got battered. Surfing at the West coast of Vancouver Island is challenging, you do have to be dedicated to surf there. Due to the hard weather conditions Canadian surfers are as tough as you can get. They even surf in full-on snow!
