Participant Sign-up and Clinic Information
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 9 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.
