James Donnelly
Originally from St. Petersburg, Florida, James discovered surfing on a camping trip at St. Augustine Beach. With over 25 years volunteering for Make-A-Wish, James has helped grant children’s wishes to surf and taught others to ride waves for nearly as long. “I love seeing people’s joy when they realize how much fun surfing can be,” he says.
