The Surf Open League team is aware of the challenges we are currently facing due to the social and economic crisis caused by COVID-19. Many families are unfortunately unable to cover their expenses, including food and essential items. For this reason, Surf Open League and a group of volunteer surfers have decided to help the most vulnerable communities along the Mexican Pacific coast through the "Friends of Surfing" initiative.

What is the initiative about?

“Friends of Surfing” is an initiative that aims to raise 50,000 Mexican pesos through donations between May 18th and June 18th. The goal is to provide at least 100 food baskets, each valued at 500 Mexican pesos.

At the end of the campaign, seven surfers will personally deliver food baskets to vulnerable communities in their local areas. These volunteer surfers are: Jhony Corzo (Puerto Escondido), Marcial Monreal (Puerto Escondido), Rey Hernández (Acapulco), Ana Laura González (Colima), Leila Takeda (Sayulita), Diego Cadena (Sayulita), and Adrián “Gato” Rodríguez (Sayulita).

How can I donate?

Donations will be made through the “hipgive.org” platform. This site allows users to make contributions as individuals or organizations, and users can donate any amount as often as they wish.

There are different ways you can make your donation: Credit or Debit Cards, Cash Payment, Interbank Transfer or PayPal.

With your help, we are confident that we can help many families going through difficult times.

Don't forget that after bad times, better waves will come for everyone!
