Put on by Watermans Applied Science:
The goal of the SurfAid Paddle is to bring awareness and funding to SurfAid International. SurfAid is a relatively
new non-profit organization that focuses on bringing sustainable solutions to remote areas of the world with
detrimental environmental and health related issues. SurfAid’s efforts to bring clean drinking water and Malaria
prevention and education to the Mentawai islands has recently earned them reorganization from the SIMA foun-
dation as one of the most effective and worthy non-profit agencies in the industry. It is our intention that this
event encourages both individuals and community businesses to support SurfAid’s cause.
The turn out was awesome, with over 100 paddlers.
All the big names were there: Mickey Munoz, Sparkey, Barret Tester, Chuck Patterson, Jenny Kalmbach, Rob Rojas.
Many thanks to Pete Stirling and Macon Brock for doing such a great job.
And, putting me (E.J) on Team Watermans.
