Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Surfers healing was founded by israel and danielle paskowitz. Their son, isaiah, was diagnosed with autism at age three. Like many children with autism, he often suffered from sensory overload simple sensations could overwhelm him. The ocean was the one place where he seemed to find respite. A former competitive surfer, israel hit upon an ideawith isaiah on the front of his surfboard, and izzy steering from the back, the two spent the day surfing together. Surfing had a profound impact on isaiah. Israel and danielle decided they wanted to share this unique therapy, they began to host day camps at the beach where children with autism and their families could be exposed to a completely new experience of surfing.
