<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:14px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">This is going to be an unforgettable day\u2014one that gives each participant the chance to truly <em>feel</em> the surfing experience. Imagine the wind brushing across your face, the ocean spray catching the sunlight, the rhythmic sound of waves crashing, the salt in the air\u2014and the pure joy of standing on a surfboard, catching that perfect wave. These were the words I wrote on our registration page years ago, and today\u2014over a decade later\u2014they still hold true.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:14px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">Now, after 10 incredible years, I can honestly say this event has become one of the most meaningful experiences we\u2019ve ever had the honor to offer. Yes, it\u2019s about surfing\u2014but more importantly, it\u2019s about coming together. It\u2019s become a special tradition where parents, families, and friends reunite each year on a shared journey.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:14px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">"<strong>We</strong>" is such a powerful word. What started as a simple idea has grown into a beautiful community\u2014a family. And each of you is a part of that story.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:14px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">As I grow a little older and my own vision changes, I\u2019m taking on a new role this year\u2014one that gives me the gift of spending more time with you. I\u2019m looking forward to hearing your stories, learning about your past year, and sharing some exciting announcements about the future of Surfing for Vision.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:14px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">So let\u2019s keep the spirit going. Make sure you're registered, spread the word, and get ready for another amazing chapter together.</p>
