Participants learned how to properly stand on a surfboard, identify wave patterns and catch waves with help from instructors and volunteers.
It also gave veterans an opportunity to build connections, share camaraderie and enjoy time together outside of a traditional setting.
Ocean Cure has partnered with the Wounded Warrior Project on more than 100 surfing events in Carolina Beach since 2007.
