Operation Surf

Operation Surf is a series of events that gets our wounded warriors into the water and teaches them about the joy of the ocean, how to surf and pays respect to those that have sacrificed so dearly for our American Freedom. It is spearheaded by Van Curraza and a very large crew that guide the Surfers into the surf and back. I was very impressed by the guts, fortitude and pure STOKE of this small crew of fearless Surfers. The surfers got to try waves at many venues including The Ranch, Avila Beach and Morro Rock where these photographs were made. The surfers were also guided by guest surf instructor Laird Hamilton who coached many of our wounded warriors.
I was so proud to be part of this PURE STOKE event, pay honor to our wounded Veterans and revel in their stoke!
