🌊💙 THAT’S A WRAP ON OUR 2026 SURF FESTIVAL SEASON! 💙🌊

As we wrap up another incredible festival season, we want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who made 2026 so special.

To every surfer, family, volunteer, sponsor, donor, community partner, and supporter who joined us throughout the year — thank you for being part of the Surfers for Autism family.

From our first event of the season to our final festival, every wave, every smile, every new friendship, and every unforgettable moment was made possible because of this amazing community. 🌊

Your time, generosity, encouragement, and continued support allow us to create meaningful experiences for individuals with autism and related developmental delays while providing a welcoming place for families to connect, celebrate, and simply enjoy the day together.

2026 was truly one for the books, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

While our festival season may be wrapping up, we still have a little more surfing to do! Our Martin County and St. Lucie County Chapters have upcoming chapter events on September 12 and September 19, and we’d love to have you join us as we finish the year strong.

And then… we’ll start getting ready to do it all again! 🏄‍♂️💙

Stay tuned as we announce our 2027 festival schedule in the coming months.

Until then, from all of us at Surfers for Autism, thank you for making 2026 a year filled with waves, smiles, inclusion, and memories we’ll never forget.

We can’t wait to see you in 2027! 🌊🤙💙
