About Us
Finding and surfing perfect waves is the everlasting dream of every surfer. And you’ve probably said to a fellow surfer, “Hey, let’s do another surf trip soon!” And the reply is always, “Yea, cool. Where to?” Then you name a few great point break destinations and reminisce about adventures from previous surf trips. But most of us surfers in our sixties never actually commit to that next adventure because our work and family lives, or our declining vitality seem to hold us back; and then that next epic surf trip becomes just an imaginary item on the bucket list.
​
This scenario was the catalyst for surfers Campbell ("Camp") Douglass, Kevin Schweizer, and Stephanie ("2W") Brown of New Smyrna Beach, FL, and John Phillips of Ponce Inlet, FL to start Surfing in the Sixties - a venture for surf, service, and fellowship for all of us who aspire to be sexagenarian surfers. One of our mottos is, "If you're not here yet (in your sixties), God willing you're going to be; and if you're beyond your sixties, you'll continue to share the love of surfing and serving with us."
​
If you resonate with our motto, and you still dream of getting the barrel of your life - or at least the occasional ‘head dip’ - we hope you’ll become a member and join us for our next surf trip. Our typical surf destinations are warm water point breaks that enhance the surfing and serving experience as we support local orphanages at each surf destination.
​
Let's keep surfing perfect waves until the time when, God willing, we enjoy surfing in the seventies!
THE PARTNERS
Camp Douglass
"Camp"
Campbell (“Camp”) lives in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, with his ‘first love' Kathy Jo. His second love is surfing - and now the opportunity to surf and serve with Surfing in the Sixties.
​
Since college and medical school, he's had the opportunity to serve in various foreign mission fields and surf great waves at many of those destinations.
​
He’s also a verifiable sexagenarian surfer - at 63 years young - with arthritis in his right hip contributing to his ‘mature’ surfing style.
​
Camp hopes you'll become a member of Surfing in the Sixties and look forward to the camaraderie during each new surf trip when we'll surf more perfect waves and enjoy serving the orphanages at each destination!
Kevin Schweizer
"The Translator"
Kevin and his NSB High School sweetheart (Missy Lee) live in NSB (Bethune) and have 4 children; Nils, Abaco, Autumn and Noah. “ We were the surfing parents hauling kids up and down the east coast and eventually to California and Central America. The kids were involved in ESA and NSSA and Surfari Club local contests, surf shop challenges and then the pro events and eventually the boys went on to become pro surfers. "Life has been good and it’s time to give back" says Kevin.
Kevin started surfing at 9 and remembers his first wave “way, way" outside at Beachway ramp. "I was so light I think I rode the wave for 10 seconds before it ever broke…” He was hooked and still at it at 62. Kevin is an architect and enjoys traveling for work and pleasure, and surfs whenever and wherever possible. He also enjoys sailing and skin-diving and fishing the back creeks with Missy and the kids.
Stephanie Brown
"2W Brown"
With over 20 years of experience in hospitality and event production, I’ve had the opportunity to work across a wide range of environments — from private membership clubs in Los Angeles to destination venues around the world. Over time, my focus has evolved from traditional event planning to something far more personal and purpose-driven.
As the founder of Venspiration, an event and travel company, I specialize in creating **ocean-inspired group experiences** — rooted in connection, adventure, and a deep respect for the natural world. Whether it's a community-driven event or a destination surf trip, I believe the venue sets the tone**, and that the most meaningful moments happen near the water.
In the past five years, I’ve honed in on the surf world, producing pro and amateur-level surf contests and leading group surf travel missions through Surfing in the Sixties. These experiences are about more than waves — they’re about community, purpose, and chasing something real.
For me, the best days always end with an unforgettable ocean sunset — and that’s the energy I bring to every Venspiration event.
