Surfer's Healing
At Surfers Healing, the mission is to enrich the lives of people living with autism by exposing them to the unique experience of surfing. That mission exists because of one child. Israel and Danielle Paskowitz founded Surfers Healing because of their son, Isaiah. Isaiah has Autism, and when he struggled with meltdowns and sensory overload, riding the waves with his father calmed him like nothing else.
