A teacher in Hawaii is rehoming surfboards and skateboards to underprivileged kids

Brit Oliphant connected with her fourth-grade student, Seth Snyder through skateboarding. Brit was shocked to find out Seth was so passionate about skating but didn't have a skateboard of his own. She started an organization, Boards 4 Buddies, to change that. (Nic Hibdige)

Brit Oliphant and her boyfriend, Nic Hibdige, boarded a puddle-jumper flight from Maui to Oahu in late April on a mission to share positive vibes with a handful of kids from underserved communities.

They traveled the Hawaiian island collecting used surfboards and skateboards from donors who were happy to see their unused equipment in the hands of kids who, more often than not, were unable to afford a board of their own.
