In keeping with my love for the ocean, the surfing community and my passion for helping others I thought it would be nice to take a moment to talk about an organization that does some pretty amazing things.
The organization: Waves for water
Their mission: It is simple. To get clean water to every single person who needs it.
Their current project hits close to home for me. As most of you know Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast late October of last year, leaving many surf-based communities in New Jersey and New York completely devastated. Waves for water normally focuses on clean water, but this project focuses on initial survival needs, from first responder assistance to rubble removal and rebuilding efforts. They will be focusing primarily on the surf-based coastal communities in Jersey and New York to start. The hope is that the Waves for Water effort will be a vessel for the global surf community to directly help fellow surfers in need of help along the east coast.

No blog post would be complete without some pictures.
Here are a few pics I took during tonight's sunset session in La Jolla.
