An inspiring group of surfers has been contributing to make
a difference on the Central Coast, and now they intend to help others up and
down the coast of California. Their determination to educate the public regarding
disabled athletes led to the formation of the Association of Amputee Surfers
AMPSURF (www.ampsurf.com) will be putting together six learn to surf clinics
this year up and down the coast of California. The dates for these clinics
are as follows:

who cannot afford it, although donations are appreciated from those who can.
Donations will be used to help cover Clinic fees, equipment, and transportation.
Surfing instruction will be provided by trained surf instructors, and experienced
surfers. These instructors will work with each individual to meet his/her
needs and abilities.
