We are a 501 (C)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities through the joy of surfing. Our mission encompasses two main pillars: building custom surfboards tailored to the specific needs of our participants and offering free surf lessons to enable them to experience the thrill of riding the waves.
Through our inclusive programs, we strive to create a supportive community where everyone, regardless of ability, can enjoy the transformative benefits of surfing and connect with the ocean in a meaningful way.
How Do We Do It?
We build custom surfboards, which are outfitted with the necessary specialized equipment, at no cost to the athlete. We provide free surf lessons in a group, or private setting, with qualified instructors, to ensure a safe and positive experience for the athlete. We also partner with other organizations that share the same goals in an effort to gain real community support for our athletes, by way of donations and volunteer opportunities.
Why Do We Do It?
At our core, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to experience the transformative power of the ocean. We're driven by the joy and freedom surfing brings, and we're committed to sharing that exhilarating feeling with individuals of all abilities. By crafting custom surfboards and providing adaptive surfing instruction, we aim to break down barriers, foster inclusivity, and empower individuals with special needs to embrace the waves and discover their own strength and resilience. We do it because we believe in the healing and unifying force of the ocean, and we're dedicated to making surfing accessible for all.
