WB Surf Camp Featured Surfer of the Week 3/5/12: Adam Levy

Adam signed up for our Teen Outer Banks travel camp early in the spring just like most of our campers. Just a few weeks before our departure, we got a call that he had fractured his wrist during football practice. It was pretty obvious that a cast on his arm would prevent him from performing the basic movements to paddling and popping up on the surfboard. But in his final doctor’s visits, he was given the green light to surf with the cast on. The only question was, would he be able to do it? Right from the start his smile and positive attitude told us that he was going for it, regardless. Adam charged the whole entire week in every condition. We were so stoked to watch him get some of the best waves that came through on the last day of pumping surf! His continuous smile beamed a radiant stoke at his achievement and progress through the week. It was pretty inspirational and yet another example of overcoming odds and circumstances. We can’t wait to surf with this guy again. Keep charging Adam!
