Nonprofit SurfAid has partnered with Australian surf park operator URBNSURF to launch a national giveaway as part of this year’s Make A Wave challenge. The initiative, titled the World’s Best Surf Month giveaway, offers one selected entrant the opportunity to surf every day in September at URBNSURF Sydney or Melbourne.
Wave Pool Access to Support Remote Surf Communities
According to SurfAid, the giveaway supports its Make A Wave campaign, a month-long global fundraising event. Participants in the challenge commit to surfing daily throughout September to raise money for healthcare, clean water, and nutrition in remote surf-based communities.
Contest winner will receive a 30-day pass to URBNSURF. The winner is expected to document their surfing and fundraising journey. SurfAid said the chosen individual will surf over 400 waves during the month and share original content on social media platforms.
Entry Requires a Short Video Submission
To enter the URBNSURF giveaway, surfers must submit a 60-second video. The video should describe their passion for surfing, explain what the Make A Wave challenge means to them, and outline their approach to creatively capturing the experience.
Videos will be evaluated based on creativity, storytelling, and enthusiasm for the sport. SurfAid noted that the judging panel will select one winner.
URBNSURF Cited as Natural Partner
SurfAid’s CEO, Doug Lees, said the collaboration with URBNSURF offers a consistent and unique platform to engage surfers who want to support charitable causes.
“We’re stoked to be partnering with URBNSURF on the World’s Best Surf Month giveaway,” said Lees. “Surfing for 30 days straight can be surprisingly difficult when you’re dealing with mother nature and the whims of your local beach break. So, being able to surf every day at a wave pool for a whole month is a very special opportunity.”
Lees added that the partnership also aligns with the organization’s mission to improve conditions in isolated coastal communities.
“We’re looking forward to watching the winner’s journey and progression this September through the Make A Wave challenge. Not only will they enjoy perfect surf all month long, they’ll also be surfing to help bring healthcare, clean water and nutritious food to remote surf communities.”
