Rerip Stories

Throughout the years, Rerip has had the opportunity to cross paths with some inspiring humans, and decided it was time to start sharing some of these stories.

Meet Vernon

This year, a drug court counselor at the San Diego Center for Positive Changes contacted Rerip looking for an available board for someone in their program who was wanting to get back in the water. Because of our community’s donations, we were able to provide him with a watertight longboard (he needed to get to the nose) and a wetsuit. After a few sessions, he realized how much he missed surfing and wanted to help his peers in the program feel the same stoke. Since that day, Vernon has been an ambassador for Rerip—helping others get equipment, organizing clean and repair sessions, and even securing a donation for promotional materials. Check him out!!
