Today we're talking about a program to take veterans and first responders to the ocean and teach them how to surf. It's an organization called SWEL and it was created by a an experienced cop who saw the value in surfing to promote health and wellness for other first responders. His name is Rob Sanderson and he dropped by my office with a huge smile on his face to talk about these trips, where he and his team guide officers through a weekend of decompression, good food, surfing, and peer support that's hard to match.
