Artist Chip Herwegh created the award from resin dripped on the floors of surfboard factories near his studio in Hermosa Beach’s Cypress District. 

The award was representative of the foundation, which offers ocean therapy to the Wounded Warrior Battalion at Camp Pendleton, and other trauma victims. It was presented to David Peters, and his wife RL, whose involvement in the foundation precedes its founding. David Peters coached Jimmy Miller when he played AYSO soccer with Peters’ son. When Jimmy Miller’s parents, Nancy and Jim, formed the foundation in 2005 following their son’s death, Peters became a board member.
