As a lifelong surfer, I was well aware ocean’s healing power. I founded They Will Surf Again/TWSA for two reasons: my love of the ocean & the thrill I experienced when sharing it with those with spinal cord injuries. I launched the inaugural TWSA event in Malibu not knowing what to expect. The turnout of participants & volunteers was staggering. The smiles were huge. We knew we were onto something magical. Currently hosted in 7 cities across 5 states, TWSA has changed the lives of thousands.
