Welcome to MAWP!

The Make A Wave Project is the ultimate beach-lover’s fundraiser in support of Oceana’s effort to clean and protect our oceans! The Surf-a-Thon is a 24-hour, non-stop surf event for anyone who loves the beach! Surfers will participate in one or more 3-hour shifts between 12pm on September 22nd and 12pm on September 23rd. The event will take place at the Ocean Park Beach in Santa Monica at 2600 Barnard Way. If you would like to surf this event you can click on the “SURF” link at the top-right of this page to sign up.

Even if you’re not surfing the event, we encourage you to make a donation to Make A Wave Project by clicking on the “DONATE” link at the top-right of this page. All net proceeds raised through MAWP will go directly to Oceana. Donations can also be mailed in to the following address:

The MAWP Surf-a-Thon will be rockin’!! You can expect two days of music and fun in the sun and sea. Look for the four white canopy tents stationed at the Ocean Park Beach near lifeguard Tower 26. This is a grass-roots event y’all, and we appreciate any and all the support you can give – whether you surf, make a donation, or bring your good energy to the beach on September 22nd and 23rd! So, bring your friends and family to cheer on the MAWP surfers as they catch waves and rip it up!!

Please check this website periodically for announcements and bulletins about this event as well as view our video stream of the team captains and some of the stoked surfers.

If you care about the future of our oceans, this is an extraordinary cause. We are grateful to all of you who are willing to help!

Peace, love and SURF’S UP!!

Sincerely,

Alex Winston & Tanna Frederick
