We get kids who used to live in San Diego County and save their report cards until their family vacation and annual visit to Hansen Surfboards, and others who hear about this from the Internet and stop by for a visit.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Since the program was created, it has grown rapidly. To provide a snapshot, here’s how the numbers have jumped since 2007:</p> <p>$52,935.04 – 2007 – 2008 School Year)</p> <p>$71,169.45 – 2008 – 2009 School Year)</p> <p>$83,106.20 – 2009 – 2010 School Year)</p> <p>$93,764.67 – (2010 – 2011 School Year)</p> <p> </p> <p>“We’d love to be able to redeem Goods for Grades online, but kids have to bring in their report cards in person in order for us to give them merchandise in exchange for their good grades,” added Hansen.</p> <p> </p> <p>Founded in 1961, Hansen Surfboards is San Diego’s largest surf shop. With more than 16,000 square feet of retail space, Hansen Surfboards offers something for everyone in the family.
