Shaun McLaughlin, 6, who was born without a right foot, gives surfing a try under the watchful eye of AmpSurf volunteers and instructors.

Shaun demonstrated surfing on the sand.

SHAUN MCLAUGHLIN: “You got to lay down like this and stand up and that’s pretty much how you do it.”

REPORTER: “That’s all?”

SHAUN MCLAUGHLIN: “Uh-huh.”

DANA CUMMINGS: “Most people with disabilities their whole life, everybody focuses on their disability. Who cares -- you lost your leg, you’re blind, whatever. Have fun. Just enjoy life. Take the most advantage of it as you can.”

SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: Dana Cummings plans to develop more of an East Coast presence for AmpSurf. He and his staff expect to return to Maine, New York and New Jersey next year. They want to train volunteers to become instructors and teach more people with disabilities to become surfers.

MARIO RITTER: The local food movement is the popular trend toward buying and eating locally produced foods. Two chefs at a Washington hotel decided to take the local food movement to new heights. They have three beehives producing honey on the hotel roof, ten floors above their restaurant. Ian Bens is the executive sous chef at the hotel, the Fairmont in Washington, DC.

IAN BENS: “All these bees have been out getting nectar and now they’re coming in and they want to get back in the hive.”
