For our 10th anniversary of Operation Surf in Santa Cruz we welcomed 12 participants and alumni to experience the healing powers of the ocean. Mahalo @kapucreative and @amoracinema for capturing the essence of the hope, healing, belonging we have all experienced this week. The Santa Cruz and Capitola communities have welcomed us with open arms and the waves have been INCREDIBLE! 🤙🏼🌊
In memory of Wynn Padula, we celebrate the FIVE year anniversary of ‘Resurface’ released on @netflix — we are so grateful this short film continues to impact and inspire lives around the world.
Please take a moment to tag someone or share this post to spread the word about the healing powers of the ocean. ❤️
