  • Such and awesome project! 3 Elite Warriors who found joy in SUP surfing, have designed a program to bring in other Warriors to pass forward the passion that SUP surfing has provided for them!
    I was invited to this amazing camp and seen first hand the effect this sport has on the Men and Women that do our heavy lifting for us. Although I was never in the military, they asked me to make this video to help them raise the funds to continue this very meaningful program.
    Please pay forward and donate to this most worthy cause!
    Many Warriors need a pathway to help adjust back to civilian life.
    SUP surfing provides an awesome focus on living..... after war.

    An awesome video! I have volunteered for many years with the Best Day Foundation (New Jersey chapter). We go surfing with kids who have disabilities at various New Jersey beaches during the summer months. Always a magical experience! Thanks for sharing this video, Rick.

    Omg I’m just here watching the vets ups when you went to Mexico. This is Deb here from Queensland Australia are I am lost for words absolutely lost for words I’ve got tears rolling down my face for being so proud of all the guys never done that before they haven’t and they were the best. Honestly my heart is just bouncing for all of them and I have to admit a couple of the teachers are very easy on the eye to

      Hi Deb
      Yes, they were amazing to watch!
      I saw them get some pretty incredible rides in their 1st week of surfing
      The coaching staff was perfect... and the venue seemed like it was designed to do this!

    You couldn't find a better break for beginners. Brilliant idea. I wonder if they have similar programs to this here in Australia

      Hi Shane,
      It is the perfect setup, such a beautiful spot!
      These 3 guys came up with this on their own, because of how SUP surfing gave each one of them a new focus.... and they wanted to pass it on.
      It would be a great program for Australia!
