What an amazing Initiative @OneLastWave 😍 Honor your loved ones and celebrate the ocean... Thks @CapeTownSquad
April 27, 2023 on Freedom Day in South Africa, Board #5 carrying 2056 loved ones was launched at “The Surfers Corner” at Muizenberg beach in Cape Town. Photographer Sean Thompson captured Cobus from Wawa Wooden Surfboards taking it out for its inaugural One Last Wave ride.

My hoodie from @OneLastWave arrived today. It is beautiful and serves as a constant reminder that my son David Finkelman was memorialized on one of the surfboards thanks to the thoughtfulness of @wendymo94921768. This is a worthwhile project, motivated purely by kindness.

Whether it’s in a full moon in broad daylight, a butterfly appearing moments after I ask for it, her big brother bringing her up out of no where, or her name surfing the waves of the Atlantic, baby girl is EVERYWHERE. #BLAW

I had the pleasure of chatting with Dan Fischer about @OneLastWave Project. We talked about how it started as a way to deal with grief and loss in his own life, the first viral video, putting more than 2000 names on each surfboard, and lots more. youtu.be/DSczaoLiVgA

Surfer Dan Fischer posted a TikTok with an open invitation to those struggling with a loss to write their loved ones’ names on his surf board. What happened next is amazing ❤️ @OneLastWave | @PearlJam

After losing his father and a pet in rapid succession, surfer Dan Fischer found comfort riding the waves. He's since launched "One Last Wave," etching the names of the dead on his board and taking them out -- in spirit, anyway -- for a spin in the surf. apne.ws/WxP8LQx
