Before Veteran surfing I felt sick all the time, my heart felt like it was going to give out and I had stopped living. Now I'm alive and thriving... I really don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't gotten into the waves...

Why it works

Operation Surf (link here) in California did a research study that confirms what we have also witnessed. Building community and providing challenge helps Veterans immensely. Dr Russel Crawford's research showed that participants experienced:


  • A 36% decrease in PTSD symptoms
  • A 47% decrease in depression
  • A 68% increase in self-efficacy
