Redefining Surf Travel to Help Others | Celebrating 10 years of Waves For Water
Surfing is innately a selfish pursuit. Jon Rose managed to find a way to help others while traveling the world and getting barreled. Well actually he barely barrels the last 10-years since he started the world bettering Waves For Water non-profit, but for others that want to help out that could be in the cards. This profile is a great one on how being in the wrong place at the right time started a worldwide movement.
Sample:
“That trip altered my life,” said Rose of the experience that led to him creating Waves for Water, an organization dedicated to providing people with access to clean water worldwide. “I learned a lot about myself in a really short period of time. I realized I had skillsets I didn’t know I had, because in those situations you’re tested in ways you’ve never been tested before. I’m somehow well suited for that type of work. The crazier things got, the calmer and more organized I became. I felt like I was flexing this muscle I never knew I had.”
