Unacceptable Actions by Trump Admin Harm Surf Ecosystems and the Environment
At Save The Waves, we recognize that we are in an unprecedented moment in history. The budget cuts and threats to the NOAA, the National Parks, and the Coastal Act are unacceptable.

I guess you could say we're feeling 22 🎉
22 years ago our founder Will Henry(pictured holding the Ward Coffy board), created Save The Waves to advocate for the protection of waves on the island of Madeira.
Fast forward to today and the mission hasn't changed much.
