13th Annual Get Out Girl

The Largest All-Female Surf & Paddle Event in the U.S.

A celebration of women, water, and the connections that carry us through life’s changing tides.

Join Operation Get Out for a one-of-a-kind all-female surf and paddle experience designed to bring women together through movement, nature, connection, and the restorative power of the water.

Get Out Girl was inspired by the friendship, courage, and deep connection to the water shared by Kristin McLain and Jessica Hollis. As a STAR Flight rescue nurse and Travis County Sheriff’s Deputy, Kristin and Jessica understood the importance of having a place to pause, reconnect, and find renewal after serving others. The water was that place.

Their lives were tragically lost in the line of duty, but the lesson they left behind continues to ripple outward: we all experience changing tides, and we all need moments that bring us back to ourselves and each other.

Today, Get Out Girl celebrates women from all walks of life who come together to experience the joy, freedom, and connection found on the water. Whether you are a first-time paddler, an experienced surfer, a busy professional, a caregiver, or simply someone seeking a meaningful day outdoors, you belong here.

Operation Get Out creates evidence-informed outdoor experiences that use nature, water, movement, reflection, and connection to support restoration, perspective, and growth.

Your participation also helps expand access for women who serve our communities. Proceeds from Get Out Girl provide sponsored opportunities for female frontline heroes and individuals in need.

All experience levels are welcome. With all-female ambassador instructors and an intentional, encouraging environment, every participant is invited to come as she is and discover what the water offers.

Bring a friend. Come as you are. Find your connection. Ride the changing tides together.

Sponsored registration is available; 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.

Operation Get Out invites military members, veterans, first responders, nurses, and frontline professionals to a fully sponsored day on the water. Through intentional, evidence-informed experiences, participants enjoy boating, wake surfing, meaningful connection, and time in nature designed to help reconnect, gain perspective, and navigate life's changing tides. No experience is necessary, and all equipment, lunch, and refreshments are provided. Registration is complimentary.

Offered two separate days: September 29 or September 30, 2026

Slow down, step outside, and settle into a few good days on the water.

The Operation Get Out Fall Retreat is an all-inclusive, easygoing experience rooted in nature, water, music, and real connection. Designed for military, first responders, nurses, and frontline workers, this is a chance to trade the noise for open air, good people, and a little space to breathe. (Spouses and partners welcome!)

Beyond The Wake Experience

Operation Get Out is honored to welcome athletes from the Adaptive Training Foundation for a day on the water designed to create possibility, connection, growth, and the power of shared experiences.

Together, we'll spend the day boating, wakesurfing, and building community in an environment where every participant is supported, encouraged, and empowered to discover what's possible. Water has a remarkable way of leveling the playing field, creating moments of confidence, freedom, laughter, and accomplishment that extend far beyond the shoreline.

These intentional experiences are about more than recreation. They're opportunities to strengthen community, create meaningful connections, and remind every participant that life's changing tides can also open the door to new possibilities.

Your support makes days like this possible, allowing Operation Get Out to continue providing evidence-informed experiences that bring people together through the restorative power of nature and water.

Get Hooked Fishing Tournament Weekend

Cast off for a weekend of connection, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments on the water. Operation Get Out's Get Hooked invites first responders, military members, veterans, nurses, and frontline professionals to experience a fully sponsored fishing weekend designed to inspire connection, renewed perspective, and time well spent in nature.

Participants are paired with professional anglers as part of a larger Club Tournament, fishing side by side while learning new techniques, sharing stories, and enjoying a little friendly competition.

The weekend includes lakeside accommodations, meals, BBQ, live music, tournament entry, all fishing equipment, and plenty of time on beautiful Lake Conroe. Whether you're a seasoned angler or trying fishing for the first time, you'll discover that the greatest catch is often the connection made along the way.
