Wounded Soldiers Hit the Waves
The SLO Tribune has a good story about Central Coast surfers getting together to teach surfing to soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Santa Maria Times followed up on the story also and KEYT has some video. Rodney Roller, a Pismo beach surfer and amputee, can often be seen surfing the Pismo Pier and in the Pier parking lot where he rides his bike to. He's a loud fellow in the Northside lineup and tough to miss.
