Surfline Communications Ltd, Ghana’s premier 4G LTE operator, in partnership with Live FM, Surf Ghana and J.S Stanley, a waste management company, organized a weekend activities to clean the beaches of Kokrobite to commemorate this year’s International Surfing Day.
The clean-up exercise championed by volunteers from Surfline, drew inhabitants from the Kokrobite area and frequent holiday-makers to support this noble cause.
As part of the weekend’s activities, Surfline also partnered with Surf Ghana to organize a surfing competition and clinic for the adrenalin-seeking holiday-makers amongst other fun and entertainment activities.
The surfing competition drew participants from the Ivory Coast, Cameroon, the United Kingdom, Australia and France. Holiday makers were also thrilled with beach soccer and volleyball competitions as well as exhibition boxing matches.
Speaking at the weekend’s activities, CCO of Surfline, Mr. Justice Taylor said, “Being the Ghanaian brand that we are, Surfline is committed to contributing to the development of the welfare of the communities in which we operate. We intend to fulfil this commitment by supporting these communities in any practical way that we can to make life better for all of us.”
He mentioned the cleanliness of our beaches as being a major stumbling block to attracting holiday-makers and was of the hope that this initiative will spur the community to play a bigger role in keeping the beaches clean and attractive.
According to Mr. Taylor, Surfline’s involvement in surfing, is in line with Surfline’s quest to always do things in a unique but engaging way: “Though surfing as a sport is not very popular in Ghana yet, it has the potential to become a great one and make Ghana a holiday destination for surfers.”
