Our Mission
At the Warrior Surf Foundation, our mission is to enhance veterans' and their families' physical and mental well-being through free surf therapy, wellness coaching, and community support. We harness the healing power of the ocean and the transformative experience of surfing to promote mental and physical well-being, resilience, and community for those who have served our country.
Why We Ruck
The Warrior Surf Ruckathon is more than a fundraising event—it’s a way to walk shoulder-to-shoulder in support of those who’ve served. And it's a perfect way to connect people to the values we stand for while making a tangible impact on veterans’ lives 💪
🏄 Every dollar raised from our Ruckathon will help us put a Veteran through our 12-week program, which includes surf therapy, wellness coaching, yoga, and community for Veterans & their families.

On the morning of March 1st, expect to be at the Wappoo Shelter in JI County Park by 8:30am. We begin our ruck at 9AM. Load up your backpack, hit the trail, and ruck for a cause! More details to come.
Let’s come together to honor our veterans while making a difference—one step at a time!
What is Rucking? Rucking is simply walking while carrying weight in a backpack, also known as a "rucksack". This low-impact exercise, inspired by military training routines, is a fun and healthy way to honor our veterans. So, throw some rocks in a backpack, and join us!
