“After years of supporting our veteran community through the healing power of the ocean, the charity has made the difficult decision to formally wind down.
Our mission has always been to provide a safe space for those who served and their families.
We are incredibly proud of the waves we’ve caught together and the lives we have seen transformed.
However, the time has come for us to close our doors.”
Douglas Bell – Chair & Director
