They Will Surf Again, a no-cost program underwritten by Life Rolls On and is the most popular program of Life Rolls On. Injured athletes from around the country gather together for a day of surfing! Some have not surfed since their injury, some have never surfed, some surf all the time despite their varying mobility. TWSA connects dozens of volunteers, with a handful of injured surfers, together for a day of excitement, joy, and best of all, surf! Safety precautions and experienced watermen (and women), along with lifeguards will be present. No prior surfing experience is necessary.
Where: La Jolla Shores, San Diego, California (Look for the LRO flags and tent).
Cost: There is no cost for participants or volunteers. Life Rolls On's sponsors, Global Surf Industries and the Surf Industry Manufacturers Association (SIMA), have underwritten all other expenses, or support was donated by local community members.
When: Sunday, March 9, 2008
What Should You Bring:
> Sunscreen and beach towel(s). For changing into wetsuit, bring extra towels for privacy (if applicable). > Bring extra towels or blankets to put under wheelchairs (reduces sand in wheels once on the beach) > Swimsuit and wetsuit. If you do not have a wetsuit, we will provide one for you (limited quantity). If you require a wetsuit that is extra-small or extra-large, we would encourage you to bring your own (rent or buy if possible). > If you have a special diet, please come prepared.
