Operation Surf Central Coast 2017

10/06/2017 @ 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Operation Surf Central Coast

OPERATION SURF

Operation Surf came into existence as a result of one wounded hero’s desire to learn to surf. Participants of our program experience a decrease in PTSD symptoms by 36%, a decrease in depression by 47%, and an increase in self-efficacy by 68%.

Amazing Surf Adventures will be hosting our annual Operation Surf Central Coast 2017 this October 6th through the 12th.

This event is held in support of the men and women whom 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.
