Over 200 people took to the waves on Aug. 13 for Surfers For Autism's 11th annual event in Flagler Beach.

Organizer Moose Brown and his army of volunteers, supported by local and county officials, set up epic surf sessions for autistic people from all over Florida and other states. Flagler Beach's waves were in fine shape to ride.

Surfers For Autism, based in Stuart, had three concurrent events happening on the same day, with other events also occurring at other Florida beaches.

Mermaids and pirates were on hand to entertain the participants, and organizations including Women Making Waves, Sun Bum, Florida Autism Center, Old Glory Service Dogs and the Family Life Center supported the event and educated attendees.
