Lee's Lil Shorebreakers

Lee's Lil Shorebreakers in memory of our son, Lee Terrell The summer that he turned 11, we sent him to surf camp and he loved it. Beach, VA 23451, attn: Teller Line.

Lee’s Lil Shore Breakers is a Non-Profit that was founded by all of Lee’s friends and family, we all wanted to make sure that Lee will never be forgotten. Lee lived with his dad Nelson Terrell in Northern Neck during the school year and during the summer he lived with his mom and stepdad Jean and Brian Brackins in VA Beach. Lee’s nick- name was shore break for the first few years until he finally

got the nerve to paddle out to where the better waves would break. Brian would get up just about every morning and drive him and his friends down to the beach and Lee was always the first one in and the last one out, he would never rest, he wanted to be the best, he dreamed of being a pro. Between the summer of Lee’s 8th and 9th year of school he moved to VA Beach and lived with us year round, I would love to say it was because he missed us, but it was the beach and the waves that he wanted to be near. As he and his friends got older and could ride their bikes to the beach holding their boards we hardly ever saw him, but we always knew were he was. He and his friends grew up but never grew apart and any free time they had would be spent at the beach surfing as long as the waves were there. On August 25, 2011, I received a text from Lee telling me he was meeting Michael and Jimmy…the waves were ok, but they wanted to get some surfing in before the beaches were shut down due to Hurricane Irene. My last words to him were have fun, please be careful and I love you….At 6:30 I received a call telling me that something had happened to Lee and they were working on him at the beach, I needed to come right away, before I could get down to the beach, I received another call to go to VA Beach General, that is were he was pronounced dead. As usual Lee was the first one out in the water that day and when he got on his board he decided to do a barrel roll, he was not aware there was a high sandbar right under him. As he rolled the board his head hit the sand with enough force that he broke his neck and went into cardiac arrest….he died doing what he loved. We have formed Lee’s Lil Shore Breakers to honor my son Lee Terrell and to teach children from the ages of 10 to 12 to surf. We will be working with at risk children that come from one parent homes and do not have anyone to guide them down the right road. We are a Non-Profit organization and will be donating our own time and money to help these children, but we will need your help with this too. We are asking for donations…every little bit helps…and since we are a federally recognized non-profit with a tax ID number your donation will be tax-deducible. Make checks out to Lee’s Lil’ Shore Breakers, & mail them to Towne Bank, 600 22nd Street, Va. The tax ID number is 35-2434632. Thank you for your help and remember….Ride every wave like its your last!

Good Morning and Happy Friday! We have a lot of new followers thanks to one of our wonderful photographers and friend Suzi Noyes Photography and People of Virginia Beach FB Page. We want to thank you all for taking an interest in our little Nonprofit💜

This year, both of our tents didn’t make it to the end of the week and our cooler was toast on the last day.

We have already filled the slots for Lee’s Lil Shorebeakers Surf Camp 2027 and need to purchase two tents, a cooler, rash guards, t-shirts and other supplies. The only way we can keep this camp going is by donations from our supporters and followers. We understand that money is tight, but any amount will help!

If you are able to donate, Lee’s Lil Shorebeakers VENMO account is and it would be greatly appreciated!

Here are more photos!
