WAVES for Development is an affiliation of not-for-profit organizations dedicated to making the world a better place through surfing. We believe surf travel should benefit the people and communities where it happens.

Our mission is to inspire world travel and cultural exchange through surf experiences. We connect the dots between volunteering, traveling to surf, community-based tourism and grassroots initiatives.

WAVES currently has volunteer opportunities in Lobitos, Peru, El Transito, Nicaragua and Puerto Escondido, Mexico. www.wavesfordevelopment.org
