My son Christian was a little&nbsp;scared this year to go out on the surfboard. Thank you to all the &nbsp;efforts of the&nbsp;volunteers he did try it. I hope next year he will not be as &nbsp;frightened and&nbsp;enjoy himself as he did the year before. You are all such wonderful&nbsp;people. If Christian could talk he would tell you himself how thankful he&nbsp;is to all of you. Special thanks to our volunteer Dave for making our day much&nbsp;easier and for his patience. You are the best.</div>

We had such an amazing day. I wanted to thank your organization for the tremendous effort they put into this program. I was amazed at all the wonderful volunteers that came out for the day. My son's "buddies" for the event were terrific. The expression on my son's face as he rode the surf board was priceless. We look forward to attending future events with your organization.

Michael did not go in the water, HOWEVER, he did put on a wet suit.&nbsp;He loved the positive sensory input of a tight fitting suit.&nbsp; And then, Kate&hellip;not to be outdone, she just could not believe that she had gone surfing!&nbsp;A huge smile pretty much says it all.
