Surfers Healing was founded by Israel and Danielle Paskowitz. Their son, Isaiah, was diagnosed with autism at age three. Like many autistic children, he often suffered from sensory overload-- simple sensations could overwhelm him. The ocean was the one place where he seemed to find respite.

A former competitive surfer, Israel hit upon an idea--with Isaiah on the front of his surfboard, and Izzy steering from the back, the two spent the day surfing together. Surfing had a profound impact on Isaiah. Israel and Danielle decided they wanted to share this unique therapy with other autistic children. They began to host day camps at the beach where autistic children and their families could be exposed to a completely new experience of surfing.

In his acceptance speech, Flea talked about how uplifting surfing is, and how it provides so much energy, and that it's the right thing to do to use some of that energy to help others. He also said that whenever he goes out of his way to help someone else, he thinks, "It's just what you're supposed to do."

Surfers Healing is particularly powerful, he said, and is a poetic, beautiful thing that helps autistic children not feel so alone.
