The good deeds keep<br />
flowing from the Loud Life<br />
boys and their friends. Gus<br />
Murray – co-founder of<br />
the up and coming clothing<br />
brand – recently joined up<br />
with five other surfers for a<br />
trip to Bali - for a surf, skate<br />
and to invest in the lives of<br />
the less fortunate.<br />

Headed up by Josh Lean of Kite<br />
X Academy under the banner of<br />
Love is A Verb , the purpose of the<br />
trip in particular was to work with<br />
impoverished and underpriviledged<br />
youth in the area.<br />
“We were able to give three local<br />
groms three new surfboards and<br />
they were stoked,” Gus reports.<br />
“We also donated eight brand new<br />
fully set up skateboards to the Bali<br />
Life Orphanage in Pechatu, and left<br />
twenty decks over there. “<br />
“We gave a village soccer<br />
organisation 30 new Adidas balls,<br />
and donated some extra money for<br />
their cause. They were over the<br />
moon we helped out in that area<br />
and helped teach 90 kids.<br />
Love is A Verb was born out of<br />
a desire to create a platform for<br />
people to give generously and reach<br />
out to those less fortunate both<br />
locally and overseas. See<br />
www.loveisaverb.org to fi nd out<br />
how you can be involved.<br />
“All in all it was an amazing trip”, Gus<br />
tells us. We’re sure it was, and hope<br />
it will be repeated many times to<br />
come. Once again, well done boys.<br />
