Our relationship to our environment is tied to our health. In surfing a paddle out is often a signal of celebration, remembrance, protest and tool for awareness.
Join us for a day on the beach. We will begin with a grounding ceremony from Surf Therapy Santa Cruz and afterwards we will head out with our boards and wetsuits to form a circle. For those who wish to remain on the beach and observe, we will have activities for you to participate.
