This week I'm speaking with Dan Fischer, founder of One Last Wave Project.Dan's project caught my eye some years back and I've been besotted ever since. After Dan's father died, he turned to their shared love of adventure and nature. One day, Dan stuck a sticky note to a surf board with his father's name on it and the lightbulb moment happened. That experience for Dan was so transformative and connecting that he shared it with the world, and the world responded back. One Last Wave Project was born.I'll let Dan do the talking on it's origin story and all the heartwarming encounters he has had with the growth of the project. It's truly unbelievable.Find OLWP on Instagram here and their website here to have your loved ones name on a future board.
