We’re so gratefully STOKED and thankful to our surf family and for donating new boards to SWEL!πŸ€™πŸ™ŒπŸ€™
Our military, veteran, and first responder SWEL participants will be frothing to surf some freshies for future events!
And it couldn’t be more fitting to receive the generous donation on Memorial Day weekend.🫑
And a big shout out to our SWEL and Ambassadors and for coordinating the pickup, delivery and dropoff logistics!

Mission Accomplished: Joint service (NAVY and USCG) community service event, fitness challenge and beach day was a success!
- 15 large bags of trash were picked up. (Earth day)
- Teams of 4 competed for fitness dominance and trophies. (Health and wellbeing)
- Surfing and surfing lessons all day. (Health, wellbeing, and stoke)
- Camaraderie between military branches. (Morale and Aloha)

Different stories in the lineup.
Different reasons why people surf.
Some surf to feel alive again.
Some are chasing freedom.
Some to decompress.
Some to enjoy the present moment in nature.
Some because the ocean feels like home.
Everyone has their own reasons, but in the end we’re all connected by the same ocean & the same waves.
