Hunter Lysaught, a sales associate affiliated with the Rancho Santa Fe office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, is supporting a Surf Marathon fundraiser for Walking On Water on Saturday, June 3 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Cardiff Reef. Lysaught’s Surf Marathon fundraiser is part of an international Surf Marathon event with participants trying to catch 5,000 cumulative waves and raise $75,000 for Walking On Water. Participating surfers are responsible for raising funds through sponsorships.

“Walking On Water is an outstanding organization with which I have been involved in various capacities, and I am happy to give back through this event,” said Lysaught. “I will be a part of a large group of international participants that will attempt to catch 5,000 waves on or before June 3. I am going to catch 100 waves in one day, and with the support of sponsors, I hope to raise $1,000.”

Active since 1995, Walking On Water is a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with this generation’s global surfing community. Funds raised through the Surf Marathon will go toward the completion of Walking On Water’s current movie “Surfers and Cowboys,” various ministry and outreach events, surf camps and movie premier tours.

“Surfing has always provided opportunity and balance in my life and kept me motivated to pursue my dreams and relationships with other people. My life would be drastically different, for the worse, if I did not have surfing and Jesus,” said Lysaught. “It is rewarding to serve with this organization because it is important for the youth to be introduced to the love of Jesus Christ. God has given me everything in my life—a loving family, friends, the ocean, community, relationships, freedom and forgiveness. Through surfing, I have been able to see more of God’s character and greatness, and it inspires me to give back.”

Lysaught was on the international World Surf League (WSL) for two years upon graduation from college after having earned the Collegiate State Championship Title in the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) in 2011 and 2nd place in the NSSA National Championship in 2010. He still enjoys very early morning surf sessions, filming/video projects, shooting photos and mentors youth through North Coast Calvary Chapel Church and Walking on Water Surf ministry.
