The Doheny Longboard Surfing Association is looking for a handful of volunteers to help a group of wounded soldiers learn to surf.

Approximately ten veterans from the Wounded Warrior Project will take part in this special event.  Most of these soldiers are amputees or suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

If you have some good surfing experience and you want to help out some people who have fought for our country then this is an amazing opportunity.

Killer Dana surf shop in Dana Point is loaning several soft-top surfboards for the day and Quiksilver is donating backpacks and beach towels for each wounded soldier.

All volunteers will need to sign a waiver and have it turned in at least one week prior to the event so that they can get everyone on the access list to the marine base.  For more info. contact Tom Dolton at tdolton@cox.net.

When: The morning of Saturday, August 1.

Where: Camp Pendleton, San Onofre beach. The exact location is cabana 1 and 2 which are the two cabanas on the northern end of the beach closest to the surf area.
