Our Surf for All experience has been purely magical! I have witnessed my son grow in so many ways because of this extraordinary program. It has been incredible to see his inspiring transformation from his very first time on a surfboard, so unsure of himself and unaware of what he was capable of, to a more confident, outgoing surfer eager to get back into the ocean for the next wave. The phenomenal team behind Surf for All is made up of the most uplifting, dedicated and kind individuals. Their devotion and love for every participant in the program shines through in all they do.

Through encouragement, praise, and high-fives, each athlete has a full cheering squad and the confidence to take on the next challenge. Their gentle, nurturing approach was exactly what my son needed to succeed and the genuine celebration of each individual participant is absolutely beautiful to witness.

As the mother of a child who has special needs, there are times when you feel left out of certain experiences you may hear about other kids being a part of. Surf for All allows my son to have the ultimate opportunity and experience. When I watch my son surf, it’s as if time stands still and all other worries go away for a bit. I feel like I am walking on clouds, watching my son have the time of his life. So free, so confident, so strong. We are so grateful for this sense of belonging and amazing family. I am thankful for the way Surf for All has contributed to my son’s growth and instilled his love of surfing.
