Welcome Home – Amazing Surf Adventures “OPERATION SURF”

09/29/2019 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

WELCOME FLAG LINE OPERATION SURF
Changing lives. One wave at a time.
Healing ~ Honoring ~ Heroes

Amazing Surf Adventures will be hosting their annual Operation Surf Central Coast event September 29th – October 5th.
This event is held in support of the men and women who have sacrificed so much to protect our freedom.
Wounded active-duty and veteran service members from various branches of the U.S. military will take part in an epic life-changing experience at beaches across the Central Coast.
Through the healing power of the ocean, surfing, and camaraderie, these wounded heroes, to whom we owe so much, will overcome challenges and build a new understanding of their personal potential.

For many participants, the trip to Operation Surf is their first time leaving the hospital since being injured in Iraq or Afghanistan, making this unique and highly effective healing tool an invaluable part of their early recovery. At previous Operation Surf Central Coast events, the wounded heroes have been astounded at the outpouring of love and appreciation from the Central Coast community and its many volunteers.
