VetSurf – VA Learn to Surf Clinic August 22, Rockaway Beach, NY

We will be doing a VetSruf – Learn to Surf Clinic for Veterans. All people living with a disability or lifelong condition are invited to participate. More detailed clinic participant info is below. We’ll need Instructors, Water assist, Beach support, Booth help and more. AmpSurf’s mission is to Promote, Inspire, Educate, and Rehabilitate (PIER™) all people with disabilities and their families through adaptive surfing and other outdoor activities to keep them focused on their abilities, not their disabilities.
