These past few months, we have been blessed to have Mr. Geoff Godfrey (or "Coach," to one particular youth member) as our skateboard instructor. earlier this month, Geoff left our organization to pursue other ventures in Los Angeles with Insomniac Events. During his tenure at SDAIHYC, Geoff garnered quality skateboard decks, trucks and wheels at amazing prices, taught people (including myself) who couldn't even stand on a skateboard how to maneuver on the street and skate parks, stressed the importance of safety, and most importantly acted as a mentor and great example for all of our members here at SDAIHYC. Geoff also did more than just teach the skateboarding class; he helped with outreach events, Culture Camp, beach outings, intergenerational dinners, and with parties where we needed a DJ. We haven't seen the last of Geoff: he's supposed to join us for our Halloween outing at the end of October. You're not leaving our family that easy, Geoff...Thanks again, Coach!
