I was not suggesting to "give the money to a local young kid" picked at random on the beach, at all. I am not that naive. Some of the guys are 20 to 30s, have been surfing for years, and actually double up on jobs and work for the "official" surf schools as well. They are all "local". I can understand your friend's concern. Good surfing.
