Dedicated to female first responders, military, and nurses.

Get Out Girl Surf & Paddle Jam began in 2013 by a small group of women committed to inspiring and empowering women and girls of all ages to Get Out, Get Active and Get Connected. Two short years after our first event, we lost one of our tribe, Kristin McLain, a Travis County StarFlight nurse who used wakesurfing and paddling as a way to destress and reset after tough shifts. Four months after losing Kristin, we befriended the Jessica Hollis family at first event moving forward without Kristin. We learned Jessica, a Travis County Sheriff Officer, also utilized water as her medicine. Our families came together to form Operation Get Out, a 501c3 that provides events, experiences and equipment for individuals, agencies, first responders, military and surviving family members to utilize nature and water for positive mental and emotional wellness impact.
