Changing Lives One Surfboard At A Time In The Caribbean

Chris Dennis's story is different than most surfers. Growing up along the wild, remote northeast coast of Trinidad in the Caribbean, his passion for riding waves superseded the obstacles in front of him.

Born into a humble fishing community, it wasn't until a friend salvaged a broken board from a vacation rental elsewhere on the island, put the two pieces back together and gave it to him that he first got a chance to live his surf dream.

Breaking Boundaries: World Premiere Followed By a Q&A With The Vans Surf Team Cast | Surf | VANS - June 22 at 5pm PDT / 12am (midnight) UTC

Vans presents the new surf documentary, “Breaking Boundaries: A Surfboard Drive for Trinidad & Tobago.” Breaking Boundaries spotlights pro surfer Chris Dennis and his ongoing efforts to provide underserved youth in his native country with access to the same escape he credits with saving his life - surfing.

Through close friends and Vans family members Dylan Graves, the Gudauskas brothers’ and their Positive Vibe Warriors Foundation, Chris hosted a surfboard drive for Trinidad & Tobago and collected over 200 surfboards. Building on this support, Chris officially founded the non-profit surf therapy program Waves for Hope - Trinidad in 2019.

Chris’ program is not only providing a recreational platform in the ocean for kids, but he is literally saving lives by keeping the local youths off the streets. As a result of the Board Drive, the interest in surfing has grown throughout the community, kids have a way to express themselves positively and creatively, as well as a means of staying out of trouble.

Through this project, the PVW foundation and Chris’ spirit, the board drive has set to alter the course of Trinidad & Tobago’s sporting history while enabling the youth to take a healthy and creative path through Surfing.
