Over his years of involvement with numerous search and rescue operations at several different National Parks, he had detected a trend that he couldn't understand. The Ranger explained that during the first 7 - 10 days of a disappearance he would witness massive Search and Rescue activity and significant press coverage. Following this initial week -long effort there was almost always an immediate halt to the coverage, a discontinued search for the victims and no explanation from the search authorities." http://www.missing-411.com/about/ As always, we hope you enjoy.

We take this hour to discuss his injury, love for the ocean and letting positivity guide you. Highlights: Scotts life before his spinal cord injury. Being drawn to the ocean from a young age. What it took to get back into the ocean. Adaptive surfing. Ride the Wave Documentary. Going with the ebb and flow of life. Ongoing access issues and what we can do to open the outdoors to everyone.
