Joy abounds at Gooch's Beach in Kennebunk when Special Surfers hit the waves. Hundreds of volunteers show up to help people with special needs and severe mobility challenges surf and enjoy the beach.
In this Borealis story, we explore how surfing has helped these kids and young adults have fun, grow their confidence, and create lasting memories.

Borealis is made possible by the generous support of our Production Sponsors, The Nature Conservancy in Maine and Poland Spring.
And by our Broadcast Sponsors, Evergreen Home Performance, Conservation Law Foundation, and the Maine Office of Tourism.
