Spencer organizes the Ben Carson memorial paddle, which is a 30 mile paddle him to raise funds for the Ben Carlson Foundation, which goes from Catalina island to Newport Beach. The paddle has been going strong for the last 10 years and last year, raised over a quarter of $1 million dollars.Spencer has become integrated in communities like Puerto Escondido where he not only surfs huge waves, but leads the foundation in giving back to provide water safety.Finally we discuss the $5 challenge to get EVERY SINGLE LIFEGUARD to donate just five dollars on behalf of the BEN DID GO 10.0 Paddle as a testament to the interconnectedness of lifeguards.
