World Vision
I’m so excited to be able to use my surfing to help children in crisis through World Vision. I’ve chosen to focus on the needs of disabled children around the world, like the survivors of the TSUNAMI IN ASIA and the EARTHQUAKE IN HAITI. I hope you’ll join me by making a donation that will help provide them care, support, and hope. There are 120 million disabled children worldwide, and less than 2% of them have access to education. Worse yet, many of these kids are abandoned or neglected by family or society. When I heard that World Vision has programs around the world designed to help release the potential that God has given each one of these children, I knew I had to take part.
Through my partnership with World Vision by Surfing for Children in Crisis, we’ve raised over $25,000! Click here to see some ways your donation can help special needs children. Your continued help is appreciated!
One of my favorite Bible verses is Jeremiah 29:11:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Won’t you help me show the world’s children that this is true for them also — no matter what challenge they face? Thank you for joining me in this effort!

Walking on Water
Walking On Water is a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with this generation’s global surfing community. Professional surfer Bryan Jennings started Walking on Water in 1995 with the vision of using his surfing abilities to share his faith with young people. His idea was to hold an overnight surf camp for junior high and high school students where he would not only teach students how to surf, but also focus on sharing his Christian faith. What started as a small camp of ten students has now grown into a worldwide ministry that reaches thousands of people through surf camps and films.

The Foundation encourages others to step up to a higher level and then to pass on those positive values they have learned. These seemingly small examples of individuals living values-based lives may not change the world, but collectively they will make a difference. And in the process help make the world a better place for everyone. After all, developing values and then passing them on to others is The Foundation for a Better Life.
