Charleston Local Spotlight: Non-Profit Warrior Surf Foundation
“There is something about the ocean. You feel cleansed.” – Andrew Manzi, Founder, Warrior Surf
Challenges Veterans Face
Veterans transitioning back to civilian life often face emotional, physical and psychological challenges assimilating back into a life they once knew, but has forever changed due to the experiences and challenges they faced in uniform.
Mission and Value of Warrior Surf
Finding an outlet, a clan, a place where they are understood with patience, compassion and acceptance is a gift upon itself.
That is the true mission of Folly Beach’s Non-Profit Warrior Surf.
The vision statement says it all: “We establish hope in the lives of veterans and their families – One wave at a time.”
Warrior Surf has grown from a passion project made up on a canopy at Folly Beach and a few inspired individuals, led by Andrew Manzi, with a vision to a community of veterans, educators, ambassadors and healers.
We are honored to have this organization as part of the Lowcountry community. Their dedication and commitment to the tireless kindness they have given to all those that have and continue to go through their programs and remain as part of the Warrior Surf family is an inspiration.
