Wounded Warrior Surf Series Event #1

Jack — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 02:12:34 +0000

This past weekend Indo Jax Surf School and Ocean Cure held the first of 6 events of the Wounded Warrior Surf Series. It was incredible! The guys from Fort Bragg had a blast and so did all the instructors. We all can’t wait til Event #2 which will be held in May. Thanks to all the instructors, volunteers, and Chris of Local Sessions for taking all the photos. I just got the following from Will…

Jack,
Thanks for the wonderful weekend surf lessons. You and your school made it a very enjoyable experience. Your instructors were very helpful and patient. Alot of soldiers that are wounded in combat do not get treated with the respect that some of them deserve. You guys are a testament to what the wounded warrior project stands for and your tremendous support is very helpful in helping the soldiers heal, both physically and mentally. I think these monthly camps you will be running are a great idea and I will make sure to do my part to raise interest throughout the Wounded Warriors Battalion in the sport of surfing or at least interest in the IndoJax and Wounded Warrior Projects surfing project. Thanks again and don’t forget to send me those pictures and hopefully a copy of that surf magazine if you get a chance.

The truth is we all owe you the gratitude. Thanks for your service, and you are welcome at Indo Jax anytime!!
