Kid Carter surfs every day for 2 years...in NJ

Hang Ten, Dudes and Dudettes. Keep it mellow. Do good deeds by helping others. Da kine!

.

For the past two years, 11-year-old Carter Catches Waves Doorley has put on his wetsuit and hit the surf every day.

The 5th grader from Brigantine, New Jersey, uses his surfing to raise money for charity — often surfing a wave for every dollar donated to his fundraisers.

"I've been trying to help a lot of people," Doorley tells People Magazine. "It's a lot of fun."

Doorley taught himself to surf at 5 and put the hobby to work during the pandemic lockdown, when local playgrounds, hockey courts, and skate parks were closed — but the Eastern Seaboard beach was open.

Doorley told his mom he wanted to try to surf every day for 100 days in a row.

Then he kept going — so that on May 24th, he will have surfed 730 days in a row.

"It blows my mind," says his mom, Dawn Doorley, 43, who documents his surfs on Instagram (@CarterCatchesWaves).

On November 5, 2020, when Carter Doorley learned that the nonprofit Funny Farm Rescue & Animal Sanctuary needed money to continue helping animals — he started a fundraiser for the rescue and pledged to surf a wave for every dollar donated. More
