The mission is purely to push myself to be a better human in and out of the water and to braodedn the awarenes of the differences in blindess and visual impairements. This is the ulitmate platform to reach families, kids, those with any disabilities or even those without to show we only have this one life to do what we love and experience the most we can. It's all about the balance of mind, body, and soul. Surfing is medicine and the ocean is the best equalizer to take it one wave at a time. Yeeeewwwwww
