TESTIMONY:
"Operation Surf was an incredible experience that I almost missed out on that I wish everyone could experience. It is so much more than surfing. Operation Surf is about healing, brotherhood, bonding, and turning to the water to let go of some of life’s struggles. After my amputation, I wanted to return to surfing but did not know-how. When I was approached about going on the San Luis Obispo, CA Operation Surf I was hesitant because I felt there were others much more deserving to attend than I. I am grateful to Heather (Recreational Therapist at the Center for the Intrepid) for telling me that it was a life-changing event (even though I did not believe her). Operation Surf is one of the most incredible programs anyone could attend as each participant changes throughout the week. Surfing has given me my life back as I look forward to taking my problems to the ocean and let the water heal me. It was the turning point in my life post-injury and my wife and I are truly grateful for the experience!" - Jake, U.S ARMY GREEN BERET
