Venture Beyond | Ep. 2 | Un Mar De Colores | An Ocean Of Colors
Mario Ordoñez-Calderón wears many hats—Backcountry ambassador, surfing enthusiast, and co-founder of Un Mar de Colores (Spanish for An Ocean of Color).
Un Mar advocates for diversity, inclusivity, and ocean stewardship through the avenue of surfing. Their program offers kids a two-year progression plan that focuses on community development, surf therapy, and environmental work.
We hold nothing but admiration for Mario and Un Mar de Colores, and we’re absolutely elated to share his story with a larger audience. Mario offers a refreshing perspective on the important things in life, and we love to see him inspire others to Venture Beyond.
