THE STAND UP VETERANS FOUNDATION

The Stand Up Veterans Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping our military heroes (both Active Duty and honorably-separated Veterans) build better lives through a shared experience benefitting from the healing power of the ocean, mindfulness, camaraderie, and the joy of SUP surfing.

The SUP Veterans uses surfing, the ocean and outdoor therapy to provide a 5 day retreat where veterans and active duty immerse themselves in camaraderie and world class SUP surf instruction. The charity puts 100% of the donations towards the retreats at a world class venue in Punta Mita MX. Instructors are true professionals currently competing on tour and in the Olympics. The friendship, camaraderie, mindfulness and joy from the retreats give the vet/active duty service member a break from the every day world and allows he/she to connect to the power of friendship and the ocean.
