SURFING WITH THOSE WHO SERVE
SWEL provides free surfing missions for uniformed heroes, first responders, active-duty military, and veterans from across the country.
During these missions, participants learn how to use surfing as a therapeutic sport to disconnect from the high-stress and risky nature of their jobs. The goal is to help them de-compress, connect with others, and reinvigorate to live life to the fullest.
