WBR '23 Live Panel: OpenWater and We Are Ocean

The first panel of the Wild Buffalo Relay Panel was guest speakers from Open Water, Danny Nichols and Kyle Kelly, and We Are Ocean Paddler Claire Kennedy. Due to a late start in recording, the first part of We Are Ocean was cut short. You can learn more about We Are Ocean on our Episode with Jack Shimko, The We Are Ocean Episode.

Open Water is a community of surfers, adventurers, and advocates who have joined together to support those who protect us. Operation Open Water’s efforts started with surfing. With each wave, the transformative experience of the ocean can challenge the body, liberate the soul and unite our hearts. It’s an experience that bonds and even heals.

The primary mission of the NAC / We Are Ocean Cancer Program is to provide ocean-based, transformational adventures for teens and young adults (15-39) fighting and surviving cancer. The NAC / We Are Ocean Cancer Program focuses on bringing intimate groups of cancer fighters and survivors together in coastal wilderness environments while providing opportunities for connection, self-discovery, empowerment, support, and adventure.
