Beautifully Flawed Foundation: Uniting and Inspiring Through Surf

We're proud to partner with the Beautifully Flawed Foundation throughout the year and participate in their annual retreat in Del Mar, CA.

Founded by Cobian ambassador Bethany Hamilton, the foundation helps unite and inspire young men and women with limb differences and teaches them to find beauty in their stories.

Beautifully Flawed organizes amazing retreats for individuals living with limb differences. We welcome women from diverse backgrounds—some were born with limb differences, while others are adjusting to life after recent trauma. Here, they find a supportive community, a family-like atmosphere, and a safe space for healing

Their annual surf day is one of the year's highlights. We're grateful for the opportunity to share waves, stoke, and smiles with this incredible crew!

 
The Beautifully Flawed Foundation helps unite and inspire young adults with limb differences and teaches them to find beauty in their stories. The retreat focuses on teaching physical awareness and strength as well as provide practical tools such as stress management through breath-work, bodywork, and posture practice. Showing these inspiring young adults what it means to truly take care of yourself. Bethany Hamilton spoke about the empowering Beautifully Flawed retreat saying,  
"Throughout the retreat, we kind of tackle a lot of different things, and I would break it down into three core pillars where it's mental health, physical health, and spiritual health, and making that a part of the retreat was really important to me." -Bethany Hamilton
 

The foundation strives to build lasting mentorships and empower each attendee to be their best in all areas of life. Bethany shares with these young adults that the most important tool in the empowerment and success of these retreats is faith in God.

"I'm such a big advocate for all the tools that can help support us in our life. But like when we don't have our faith in God, all those tools kind of can only do so much. I try to share from my own personal experience along with our other leaders and just invite them to be willing to hear who God is, and how he views them as beautiful, wanted, and of worth." - Bethany Hamilton

This is the Salt+Light element of Beautifully Flawed and we are honored to partner with with such an amazing organization.
