Pope Francis is officially a surfer. Two surf activists have offered a surfboard to the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, in an event held in the Vatican Synod Hall. Sean Brody and Daniel Hopkins, global surf travelers and founders of the Kwepunha Surf Retreat, were invited to speak at the end of the World Congress of Pontifical Foundation Scholas Occurrentes Pontifical. Pope Francis was the main invitee, so Brody and Hopkins decided to gift him with a brand new surfboard. The white and light-blue plank has the Scholas Occurrentes logo.
