In this episode, we share one of the most powerful surfer girl stories yet. Sandi, 53, grew up summers at the Jersey Shore but never got the chance to truly surf — until nearly 50. Just as she was finally chasing her dream, tragedy struck with the sudden loss of her husband. Years later, through surf therapy, fitness, and pure determination, she’s not only returned to the ocean but rebuilt her strength, health, and joy. From early discouragement to personal loss to an inspiring comeback, Sandi’s journey is a testament to resilience, passion, and the healing power of waves.
