Cancer forces Surf Dog Ricochet to ride her last wave
The tides have turned, and now 14-and-a-half-year-old surf dog Ricochet needed help catching her final wave on August 13, 2022, due to cancer and other health issues.
Jose Martinez, an army veteran, purple heart recipient, and Gold medalist in adaptive surfing, got on board to help her.
Ricochet has been sponsoring Martinez in adaptive surfing competitions since 2017. Last year, the athlete won the gold medal at the 2021 ISA World Para Surfing Championship in Pismo Beach, California.
