Surf Charities

So while watching the RAW video it reminded me of how my surf camp also does charity work to help kids and people who suffer with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a disease that causes thick sticky mucus to build up in a persons lungs, but in the ocean people who suffer from cystic fibrosis are able to breath clearly. I wanted to look up more organizations that shows that surfers can help people get used to the ocean and I found a nice article from Surfer Magazine! They have a top 10 list from that list my favorite are: Operation Amped, Surf Aid, and Waves for Water. These organizations stuck out to me mainly because it involves surfers being activists to people in need. Operation Amped helps war vets learn how to surf and ultimately spread the love for the ocean. As a whole surfing and charity isn't something that is always seen side-by-side. Besides these charities there are many more that help people disabled in anyway learn to surf and spread the love for the ocean.
