A meaningful day on the water designed to empower, connect, and create lasting memories. This Blue Mind experience offers individuals and families who may not typically have access to lake activities the opportunity to enjoy boating, tubing, wake surfing, and swimming in a safe, supportive environment.

Grounded in the science of “Blue Mind,” this event highlights the calming and restorative power of water while fostering connection, confidence, and community.

Join Operation Get Out for a restorative day on the water featuring wakesurfing, boating, and a shared lakeside lunch designed to reconnect body, mind, and spirit.

Rooted in the science of the Blue Mind effect, this experience highlights what research continues to confirm: time spent in, on, or near water can measurably reduce cortisol levels, heart rate, blood pressure, and overall stress response, while increasing dopamine, serotonin, and other feel-good neurochemicals that support calm, clarity, and resilience. Simply put, water helps the nervous system reset.

This fully-sponsored, small-group experience blends adventure and restoration, whether you’re new to wakesurfing or experienced on the water, all levels are welcome. Instructors and a supportive environment ensure everyone feels comfortable, included, and empowered to participate at their own pace.

Created as a dedicated service day, this experience is open to veterans, active-duty military, first responders, nurses, and frontline workers, those who serve others every day and deserve intentional space to rest and recharge.

Expect a meaningful mix of movement, connection, laughter, and quiet moments on the lake, with a relaxed lunch shared together on shore.

Space is intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of the experience, and registration fills quickly. Early sign-up is strongly encouraged.

Come step away from the demands of service life and into the restorative rhythm of water.

13th Annual Event | The Largest All-Female Surf & Paddle Event in the U.S.

Join us for a powerful, one-of-a-kind Operation Get Out experience bringing women together on the water for restoration, connection, and renewal through surf and paddle.

This annual gathering is more than an event, it is a living legacy of healing through nature and water.

This event is held in honor of Kristin McLain and Jessica Hollis, two beloved Travis County first responders whose lives of service, courage, and connection to the water continue to shape this mission. Kristin, a STAR Flight rescue nurse, and Jessica, a Travis County Sheriff’s Deputy, both understood the restorative power of time on the water as a way to reset after the demands of frontline service. Their lives were tragically lost in the line of duty, and their legacy now lives forward through every woman who steps onto the water in this community.

Through Operation Get Out, their story has become a catalyst for something larger: a movement dedicated to using nature and water as tools for healing, resilience, and reconnection for first responders, military, nurses, veterans, and frontline workers.

Proceeds and participation directly support these populations, with a focus on creating fully sponsored access for female frontline heroes who otherwise may not be able to attend.

All experience levels are welcome, from first-time paddlers to seasoned surfers. All-female ambassador instructors and an intentional, supportive environment ensure every participant feels safe, included, and empowered.

Sponsored registration is available for qualifying female frontline heroes; space is limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Inquire at info@operationgetout.org.

This is an intentionally capped, high-demand event that reaches capacity each year. Early registration is strongly encouraged.

Come as you are. Leave stronger, more connected, and recharged by the water.
