Please donate using the Venmo link and help us share the stoke of kiteboarding, foiling, and sailing to our wounded veterans! Donate knowing that after 10 years in operation, our team of staff and instructors is composed 100% of non-paid volunteers! Wind Sports for Wounded Warriors is a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
WS4WW 501(c)3 was founded in 2012 by Carlos Poysky, US Army Ranger, who saw the need to serve and empower wounded military service personnel through wind sports education.
Sailing adventures await: When winds are strong enough for kiteboarding, WS4WW rolls out the catamarans for some sailing fun.
“It’s easy to feel forgotten, but every now and again a group like WS4WW comes along to remind you that some people still remember, and that they want you back in the world.”
“I’m extremely grateful that WS4WW gave me the opportunity to get started in the sport. I miss comradeship and challenges. Just the chance to hang out with a group of guys who’ve been in similar situations, have shared experiences…was exactly what I’ve been missing since leaving the Army; better than clinical therapy.”
"The people that were involved in the retreat and the people that came up to support it.., it just felt like home.. The troubles that our men and women go through and their struggles are well documented when they get out the service. They aren't always made to feel welcome when they get home.., what's really lacking is a sense of tribe ...[but at the WS4WW retreat] ...we never met before, but we have all walked similar paths"
"Gulf Coast Wind Sports 4 Wounded Warriors is hands down the best organization for disabled veterans in Florida that I’ve come across for veterans . The staff, volunteers as well as the community involvement are more than any veteran would ever expect. This small private organization started with a Disabled Veteran with a desire to help other disabled veterans. With the help of a few, the masses gathered to help other veterans. Thanks to all that organized, volunteered and contributed towards this growing organization! Again from a disabled veteran, thank you for your support!"
