Our Founders
Over the years, Bill and Jessica Sapp have been a part of various surf organizations with different missions. Some were faith-based while others were not, but all of these organizations were tailored to surfers.
Surf 8 Christians was inspired by the heart of a surfer, but Bill and Jessica wanted to share the “surf stoke” so everyone can surf the wave of life with Jesus Christ. You don’t have to be a surfer to ride this wave! Surf 8 Christians aims to spread the love of Jesus Christ.
Bill was born and raised in Brevard County, Florida, and has been surfing for over 40 years. In 2005, Jessica moved to Cocoa Beach to work at the Kennedy Space Center. It was at KSC where she met one of her closest friends who offered to teach her to surf.
Bill and Jessica met while surfing in Cocoa Beach at 8th St. where they later married in 2008. The “8” is a tribute to the importance of 8th St. in their journey, but it also represents “infinity” for eternal life.
Come surf with us on the party wave–a wave surfed by several people at once–to eternal life with Jesus Christ!
You don’t have to be a surfer to ride this wave!
