Rick Weeks introduces us to an amazing initiative which introduces SUP surfing to returned war veterans in the US.
The SUP Vets provide an unparalleled learning and centering experience through professional training, shared camaraderie and exquisite accommodations. This experience is available to veterans of any ocean, surf, or paddleboarding skill level.
The SUP Vets partner with SUP ‘n’ Surf and bring veterans to Punta De Mita, Mexico for an unbelievable and immersive experience into the art of enjoying the ocean and learning to paddle surf for an incredible and life changing retreat.
Such and awesome project!
3 Elite Warriors who found joy in SUP surfing, have designed a program to bring in other Warriors to pass forward the passion that SUP surfing has provided for them!
I was invited to this amazing camp and seen first hand the effect this sport has on the Men and Women that do our heavy lifting for us. Although I was never in the military, they asked me to make this video to help them raise the funds to continue this very meaningful program.
Please pay forward and donate to this most worthy cause! Many Warriors need a pathway to help adjust back to civilian life.
SUP surfing provides an awesome focus on living….. after war.

This is great – I also run a similar programme based on Gower, South Wales working with UK armed forces veterans. The guys love it.
