SURFERS GIVING BACK

Surfing The Nations impacts local and international communities through the sport of surfing and selfless service by meeting needs and changing lives.
We believe surfers have a unique calling on their lives. All surfers must go! To go into the loneliest and most desolate sectors of their community, the tiny pockets of the world that have been overlooked or forgotten, to be the change that this generation so desperately needs.

We are Surfing The Nations, a non-profit, humanitarian organization based in Honolulu that seeks to give communities, both locally and internationally, a message of love and hope through the sport of surfing and acts of selfless service. We live by our motto of “surfers giving back,” and our desire is to see lives changed, of those who we serve, as well as of the individuals within our organization serving. Our hope is that as they learn to love and serve others, they will grow into positions of leadership and maturity themselves.

Locally, we have one of the largest food distribution sites on the island of O’ahu. Feeding The Hungry caters to Hawaii´s needy, disabled, homeless, and working poor populations. We also reach out to at-risk youth in our high school and college outreach programs, and make annual trips to the neighbor islands of Hawai’i, Lana’i, Kaua’i, Maui and Molokai. Internationally, Surfing the Nations makes annual trips to Indonesia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Israel and Egypt and bring clothing, toys, supplies and the serving surf culture.

We believe surfing can be used as a powerful tool to bring about positive change. As surfers we will surely go.
