Goal: One in five Americans struggle with a lifelong disability and nearly two million men and women have served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan, and are coming home looking for ways to feel whole again and to fit back in to 'normal' life. Whether they are an amputee, blind, suffer from PTSD, or have quadriplegia. Whether they served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf war, Iraq or Afghanistan.  Whether they are a child of Autism, or a young woman who has lost a limb to Cancer, AmpSurf offers a unique program to bring the healing power of the ocean and adaptive surfing together for an experience that is both mentally and physically one of the best forms of rehabilitation on the planet. Our goal is simple, we want to help our disabled veterans, adults & children focus on their abilities not their disabilities. To do this we strive to Promote, Inspire, Educate and Rehabilitate these great Americans and the public by providing a quality program and the opportunity for the participants and volunteers to come together and feel the joy & healing of the ocean and surfing. For 8 years AmpSurf has been providing our Learn to Surf Clinics and we have served hundreds of our disabled veterans, adults and children who probably never would have had this experience if it hadn’t been for our program.

We will still be collecting toys for the Toys for Tots program. If you would like to help out please bring a new unwrapped toy (under $10) to the event and deposit it into the collection bin. We will be doing this for all the events this year so if you forget to do it at this one you can do it at another event during the year. We are hoping that we can collect enough toys through the year to fill our new trailer.
