Scotty had a near fatal accident while surfing. He fell on a
wave and hit the bottom and damaged his spinal cord leaving him
temporarily paralyzed.
The accident happened at the beginning of March and Scotty is
improving far better than anyone expected, but he is by no means
out of the woods yet. He has a long road to recovery and he needs
our help.
Scotty is an active member of the Surfrider Foundation, South
Florida Longboard Association, Christian Surfers.
Nicole
Macias, a science teacher at Sunrise
Middle School in Fort Lauderdale, FL, is aboard NOAA
Ship Oscar
Elton Sette for 30 days in May and June while
scientists conduct lobster research in Hawaiian waters. You can

These events are free and we even supply the bags and gloves.
They're an easy way to do something good for our beaches and
ocean and to raise public awareness of issues like littering and
protection of our marine resources. Students can receive
community service hours credits for this activity.
MONTHLY BEACH CLEAN-UPS, a project of Surfrider Foundation,
is coordinated locally by Surfrider Foundation Broward County
Chapter.
* International Surfing Day
is an annual worldwide celebration of surfing. A day to
give thanks and go surfing, ISD organizers aim to raise

and help protect and preserve
these recreation areas.
