Wake for Warriors
Wake for Warriors is an all-volunteer nonprofit that gets wounded and combat veterans back on the water—offering adaptive wakesurfing experiences that restore confidence, build community, and bring joy.
It’s not just about riding waves. It’s about reclaiming strength, one set at a time.
Wake for Warriors x Barrette
At Barrette Surfboards, we don’t just support from the sidelines.
Founder and shaper Austin Barrette works hands-on with veterans, designing and testing custom boards that are adapted to meet their specific needs—whether that means adjusting rocker lines for better balance, modifying widths for prosthetics, or dialing in stability for spinal injuries.
Every board is shaped with intention. Every collaboration is rooted in respect.
