Who are we? Waves of Strength is a non-profit organization that helps children in the Southern NJ area that may be in disadvantaged situations, have a critical illness or limited mobility by giving them the wherewithal to experience the therapeutic and exhilarating experience of surfing in the ocean. Waves of Strength truly believes in the healing power of the ocean, in the concept of “surf therapy” and its positive effects on cognitive and physical development, self-esteem and personal growth, as well as stress relief and socio-emotional wellbeing. We believe that regardless of the situation the children may be in, salt water has the power to heal. The sensational wonder of riding a wave and spending a day at the beach has the power to make the troubles in one’s life seem a little bit easier to tackle after a surf session in the ocean.
