Dear friends and supporters,

Our dear friend Ehrin Coupe, lovingly known as Ezza, faced a life-altering moment last Friday. While riding the waves at Uluwatu, a 2-foot wave caused a severe surfing accident, resulting in injuries to his nose and forehead.

Ehrin had emergency surgery in Bali on Saturday morning at a Nusa Dua hospital to address his injuries. The cost of the surgery and hospital stay totalled $19,091.

Medical evacuation with flights and medical assistance to travel back to Brisbane, Australia cost $6079.

As of Monday Ehrin is back in Australia and is under the care of a plastic surgeon in Brisbane. This Wednesday he is having his bandages removed and redressed where the surgeon will be able to assess the full extent of his injuries and potential path forward for recovery. The costs of his rehabilitation are unknown at this stage and as Ehrin is unable to work we are seeking to raise additional funds on top of his medical expenses to support his recovery.

We're reaching out to the NSB Boardriders community and beyond to join us in supporting Erin's recovery. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in his journey towards healing.

Together, we can help him get the medical care he requires. Please, let's come together as a community and make a positive impact on Ehrin’s life during this challenging time. Your support will be deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness.
