After losing his father and a pet in rapid succession, surfer Dan Fischer found comfort riding the waves. He's since launched 'One Last Wave,' etching the names of the dead on his board and taking them out -- in spirit, anyway -- for a spin in the surf.
Fischer’s first two boards were full, with 1,500 names on one and 2,000 names on the other, but he was working on a third.
Fischer continues to accept names through email and social media. He plans to keep making surfboards for as long as it resonates and helps people. On Jan. 4, Fischer wrote his father’s name on a sticker and affixed it to his surfboard before he went surfing. They shared a love of the ocean and of adventure, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and paragliding in Alaska together, playing on the same hockey team, and cycling up Alpe d’Huez, one of the iconic climbs of the Tour de France.
Jonah Raisner learned how to surf after his father’s death in 2009 because his father loved surfing. Adam Raisner, of Newton, Massachusetts, died of an aneurysm at age 43, when Jonah was only 7.
