Jesse Billauer's 29th Birthday Party benefiting the Life Rolls On Foundation, with Special Guest DJ Mark Moreno, was held at Tengu Sushi in Santa Monica.
Billauer suffered an accident at the age of 17 on March 25th, 1996, hitting his headon a shallow sandbar after being knocked off his surfboard by a wave. The force broke his neck, severing his spinal cord at the C6 level and instantly rendered him a quadriplegic.
He has become an inspirational guide to many other surfers, both professional and amateur.Through these efforts Jesse has gained sponsorships from companies including Nike, Hurley, Honda, Channel Islands Surfboards (who developed a "Jesse Billauer" model) and Boost Mobile.
