WALK WITH US
Walk With Us is a snapshot of the lives of three children and their experience with A Walk On Water. We follow JJ (autism and epilepsy), Lexi (blind), and Milo (downs syndrome) through their daily routines, journey to the beach, and experience with the organization on the beach and in the water.
The film offers an unfiltered look at the struggle and transformation that occurs with our AWOW participants and their families. We hope that the film will help shed light on the importance and effectiveness of Surf Therapy and A Walk on Water. We all struggle because we are all humans. It doesn’t matter what your condition is, you can transform because we are all athletes.

A Walk On Water provides Surf Therapy to children with special needs or disability. The ocean’s transformative properties empower our participants, who enjoy a much-deserved day of laughter, love, and acceptance alongside their family. For one perfect, restorative day at the beach, there are no labels. Everyone is an Athlete.
AWOW works closely with our local communities, businesses, volunteers and watermen — brought together in service of a shared mission — to help those most in need experience the calming and therapeutic effects of the electrifying, living ocean; and, in the process, showcase the best of surf culture.
