Encinitas Lions Club Puts on Surfing Event for Visually Impaired in Carlsbad
About 150 volunteers from the Lion's Club and Swamis Surf Association put on Sunday's event.
With the help of volunteers, more than 50 visually-impaired people got a chance to ride the waves and experience the joy of surfing, reported 10News.
Local surfers teamed up with the Encinitas Lions Club for the 19th annual event.
Doug Hausman, who is with Swami's Surfing Association, told 10News, "We have a person that launches them into the wave, people alongside of them just in case they fall off their board."
