Annual event highlights community spirit.
Surfing for Autism is a great reminder of how giving and generous the Outer Banks community is. Held this morning at Jennette’s Pier, watching local surfers of all ages, all appearances, men and women, taking kids into water to experience riding a wave is wonderful. Kip Tabb, writing on the Outer Banks Voice Hidden Outer Banks page has the story.
“There is nothing quite like the Outer Banks Surfing for Autism. It is a day of triumph, joy, love and community that is rarely seen and even more rarely experienced in such an unadorned, unabashed way.
Started by parents who were surfers who wanted their autistic children to experience riding a wave, the day brings together families, the Outer Banks surfing community and of course the kids.”
