gnome surf

Gnome Surf hosts an Little Legends Wave Fest, an all-inclusive competition for child surfers, at Horseneck Beach in Westport on Sunday, Sept. 10.

Chris Antao and his 'Kind Tribe' volunteers are now working with about 2,000 families in waters off Rhode Island.

Inclusion matters because at its very core, it actually changes the fiber of a community, and more importantly, all of the lives in that community.

Fall River-based Gnome Surf uses surfing to help autistic children and others feel better about themselves and learn valuable life lessons.
