Former street child Ntando Msibi and Surfers Not Street Children founder, Tom Hewitt MBE met with His Royal Highness Prince Harry at Kensington Palace in December 2016. The reason for the visit was to update the Prince on the work of Surfers Not Street Children and also to update on the tour of the UK and Japan that Ntando was embarking on. The Prince had visited Surfers Not Street Children in Durban in December 2015 so it was a great opportunity to share all that has happened in 2016 with his Royal Highness. Ntando also got a tour of the Palace! Stoked!

Surfers Not Street Children is thrilled to announce that the US Pro Surfer Dane Reynolds has decided to surf the WSL Quiksilver Pro France on behalf of Surfers Not Street Children. We are absolutely thrilled at the news which includes donating his winnings from the event. In a post heat interview with WSL (World Surfing League) Dane explained how a friend of his had visited the Surfers Not Street Children Surfhouse and had met the team and been impressed. Dane had also asked some of his South African friends what they thought and had been given the thumbs up! Thanks for this extreme act of kindness, Dane. We really appreciate it and are excitedly following your progress in the event. Our crew of youngsters went crazy with excitement on hearing the news! As of writing, Dane has smashed heat 1 with an impressive win and is waiting for his round 3 match up with Owen Wright.
