Our Vision

We believe that travel and surfing can be powerful tools for personal growth, cultural exchange, and community building. However, we recognize that access to surf travel is often limited by financial barriers and systemic inequalities. That's why we're dedicated to providing financial assistance and resources to melanated surfers who would otherwise be unable to travel and explore new surf destinations.

We believe that by empowering melanated surfers to travel, we can help foster greater diversity, cultural understanding, and global connectedness in the surfing community. Our vision is for a more equitable and inclusive surfing culture by promoting access to surf travel for all people of color.

Our Mission

We enable people of color to experience the transformative power of surfing and travel by addressing the financial obstacles that frequently hinder their ability to participate in these enriching experiences.

How we work

Through partnerships with organizations and individuals committed to social justice and equality, we seek to provide access to the resources necessary for individuals from marginalized communities to embark on life-changing adventures.

We offer creative and fun ways for people to get involved and show their support from custom merchandise and giveaways to donor events and grant writing.
By identifying attendees who align with the values and target audience of potential sponsors, we are able to increase the likelihood of successful collaboration that enhances the attendee experience and benefits the sponsor's brand.
By partnering with companies, organizations, or individuals who share our mission and values, we are able to leverage resources and networks to increase our reach and impact. In partnership, we create mutually beneficial opportunities for everyone involved, while also promoting greater access and equity in the world of surfing.

By promoting diversity and inclusivity within the surf travel industry, we hope to foster a community of empowered individuals who not only gain access to new experiences, but also become advocates for a more just and equitable society.
