AMPSURF (comme "AMPutés SURFeurs") est une association californienne qui vise à redonner, grâce à la pratique du surf, un peu de moral et de condition physique à des personnes qui ont subi une amputation à cause d'une maladie, d'un accident ou d'une blessure de guerre. Cette "clinique" d'un jour se passe une fois par mois sur la plage de Pismo, en Californie.

(One in five Americans struggle with a lifelong disability and nearly two million men and women have served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan, and are coming home looking for ways to feel whole again and to fit back in to normal life. Whether they are an amputee, blind, suffer from PTSD, or have quadriplegia. Whether they served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf war, Iraq or Afghanistan. Whether they are a child of Autism, or a young woman who has lost a limb to Cancer, AmpSurf offers a unique program to bring the healing power of the ocean and adaptive surfing together for an experience that is both mentally and physically one of the best forms of rehabilitation on the planet. To do this we strive to Promote, Inspire, Educate and Rehabilitate these great Americans and the public by providing a quality program and the opportunity for the participants and volunteers to come together and feel the joy & healing of the ocean and surfing. )
