If you are looking for rewarding Santa Cruz activities, come join us on April 16th & 17th, at Capitola Beach to help support our nations injured veterans. Operation Surf 2016 is held in honor of the veterans who have made sacrifices for the freedom of our country. Wounded veterans of various branches of our US military, who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, will take part in an inspiring experience on the waves at Capitola Beach.

This is the third year for Operation Surf here at Capitola Beach. For these heroes, the trip to Capitola and the Operation Surf event is their first time leaving the hospital after their injury. At last year’s Operation Surf event,
Veteran participants were overwhelmed at the outpouring of love and appreciation by the Capitola community and its many volunteers.

Getting out surfing and paddle boarding Santa Cruz provides a unique opportunity to get back to nature and feel the healing power of the ocean. These heroes will overcome life challenges and build new understanding of their potential and Capitola Beach is excited to be participate again this year.
