There are many ways you can help.
DONATE
Money donations go towards the costs of repairing donated surfboards, equipment upkeep and purchasing missing parts such as FCS fin sets and leashes. Additional costs include shipping equipment overseas and supporting volunteer surf coordinators on location.
RECYCLE YOUR SURFBOARD
We accept new and used surfboards, bodyboards and skimboards all year in Northern & Southern California. A tax deductible receipt for your records is available on request.
Our volunteers learn how to patch and repair surfboards to benefit the youth in our after-school surf programs. Start your own repair party — we accept surfboards already repaired.
Event calendar coming soon! Volunteers can request a beginner surf lesson or access to surf equipment for volunteering with us.
