Paddling for Purpose

Every year, our dedicated paddlers embark on an incredible journey: a 50-mile open ocean voyage from St Augustine to Mayport. This challenging paddle isn’t just about conquering the waves -it’s about making a difference in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our safety and freedom.
Our paddlers understand the transformative power of water, and they’re committed to raising awareness and funds for the vital mission of Task Force Hydro1. They believe that #watersaveslives, and through their rigorous training and dedication, they aim to make a tangible impact on the mental health and well-being of our Ohana – our extended family.
The funds generated through our fundraising efforts are instrumental in supporting our multiple lines of effort, all aimed at harnessing the healing properties of water for the benefit of our veterans and first responders in need. From surfing programs to surfboard shaping workshops, outrigger paddling sessions, and an array of other TFH1 activities, our initiatives offer diverse opportunities for individuals to connect with the ocean, rivers, and lakes.
