Andy Manzi helps his fellow veterans with the effects of war, like PTSD and depression, through surfing sessions at Folly Beach outside of Charleston.
Andy Manzi’s ripple effect positively impacts our veterans
About the speaker
After returning from tours overseas with the USMC, Andy Manzi found himself working through the effects of TBI, PTSD and depression. Through a good friend he was introduced to surfing, and from his first ice cold winter surf he knew he had discovered something important. Surfing changed his life and helped him overcome those difficulties. It wasn't long before he knew this was something that other Veterans could benefit from, and so he launched Warrior Surf Foundation. Over time it's grown to serve more Veterans, but it will never stray from its roots - Veterans serving Veterans. If you show up for yourself, we'll show up for you.
