Positive Vibe Warriors supports emerging surf organizations both local and global in an effort to facilitate surfing equipment, funding, and media support to each of our Annual Positive Vibe Warrior Partners.
Each PVW partner receives:
Donated by Positive Vibe Warriors, a collection of Foam Surfboards to assist their programs and their efforts to use surfing as a therapy program. Amount of soft surfboards donated depends on the need of each program.
Both fund raised via Positive Vibe Warrior Foundation (certified 501c3) and donated, or funded by a percentage of each PVW Foam Surfboard sold. The goal of providing financial assistance to each partner in their individual efforts to run their programs at the highest level possible. Our goal is to raise $5,000.00 for each parter annually
PVW is dedicated to assisting our partners with sharing their message, program, and journey. Each year we focus our resources to support our PVW partners digitally through PVW Film, Social media, and coordinating them with our community of the surf industry. We believe using our platform to support each organization, is a powerful way to connect communities of like-minded programs in efforts to share knowledge, resources, and ideas for future generations to come.
INTRODUCING 2022 PVW PARTNERS
JUJU SURF CLUB is a non profit organization dedicated to highlighting and supporting emerging surf sites in Africa. Founded by Mikey and Zelti February, JUJU aims to bring global awareness and support to existing and emerging African surf programs through sharing resources, connecting individuals from across the globe to help with fundraising for surf equipment.
Through the many years of surfing together and spending time with Mikey and his wife Zelti, we came to know their incredible compassion and willingness to support their local African surfing communities.
Emerging surf communities all throughout Africa are not a new thing, yet many of these communities face desperately limited access to surfing resources and infrastructure stunting their opportunity to grow their talents and potentially break out onto the world scene. Mikey understands the impact that ascending to the top level of surfing can bring, having qualified for the WSL World Championship Tour in 2018, now utilizing his platform to inspire a new generation of African surfers to reach for their own goals.

This year we will be working together to create a collaborative PVW Foam Surfboard, with custom print design, that will not only raise funding to support their JUJU SURF CLUB organization, and also providing soft boards to those respective organizations across the African continent.

City Surf Project works to ensure equitable access to the ocean and surfing for Bay Area youths. They use surfing as a vehicle to foster a connection to nature, and improve the health and well being of youth that have been historically underrepresented in the sport. Since the organization’s inception they have connected over 2,000 youths to riding waves through over 400 outings with 80% of the kids in the program experiencing the ocean for the very first time.
Our relationship with the CSP came through one of our PVW Foundation staff members Frankie D’Andrea, who along with being a native to the Northern California surf community, shined light on the incredible work the City Surf Project was doing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Last year the Positive Vibe Warriors Foundation was able to support CSP’s Back to the Beach Fall campaign that generated funds that went to the support in training their “SILT” mentors. SILT stands for “Surf Instructors in Leadership Training.” These mentors have all graduated through the programs and are getting trained to be surf coaches. They demonstrate the positive effect that having access to the ocean can have on one's life by passing on the stoke to the younger generation. This inspiring sector within the CSP really embodies how you can foster leadership and positive role models within your own community.
This year the foundation will continue its support to City Surf Project’s “Back to the Beach” campaign happening this fall. Our goal is to donate $5,000 to the campaign which will help put 12 SILTS through training , and supply them with Positive Vibe Warriors softboards for the mentors to share the stoke on every wave ridden in the ocean.
