Day 1: Surf Over the weekend, the wonderful Surf

Day 1: Surf

Over the weekend, the wonderful Surf and Turf Therapy group put on their 2nd Annual Surf-a-Thon and a Turf-a-Thon on Sunday.

The event was a pledge-based fundraiser to see how many people could catch as many waves as they could at Doheny’s famous Boneyard.

Kids and doctors from the program volunteers from J Serra High School’s Surf team, and members from the DLSA all took to the water.

Surfing all day in perfect little conditions was a simple way for surfers to give to our community in such an aloha-filled way. How could not surf till your arms fell off?

If you know someone that could benefit from this program then please contact Surf And Turf Therapy (@surfandturftherapy )

Thank you to J Serra Surf Team for being there to support, Jordan Anast (@jordananast )for photographing the event, and all the club members that came to “suffered” through having to surf all day.

As often as we can we love to team up with other amazing organizations to help foster a better community through outreach programs of all kinds.

One of the events we love to help out with is the Surf-N-Turfathon put on by San Juan Capistrano’s own Surf-N-Turf Therapy group, led by Dr. Jillian Stewart.

Surf & Turf Therapy is a non-profit dedicated to bettering lives through non-traditional therapies. Patients with varying diagnoses engage in physical or occupational therapy with the addition of surfing or equine movement. The Surf & Turf A Thon encapsulates this mission and expands participation in these therapeutic activities to all supporters.

Participants will be gathering pledges for the number of waves they catch or the number of laps they ride. Last year the inaugural event helped to raise $8,000 of our $10,000 goal to support our mission. We had over 300 people participate in last year’s event. With the addition of the “Turf” portion and an amazing partnership with DLSA, this weekend offers local businesses a platform for connecting with a large audience.

Event details can be found at the link in our bio, or feel free to reach out to Dr. Stewart through the Surf N Turf Therapy Instagram account @surfandturftherapy
