We work with young people across the whole of Devon by running sessions on both the North and South coast.
Our courses run during the Spring, Summer, and Autumn. We also have Surf Club sessions running from April to December.
We’re passionate about improving the lives of our local youth, seeing smiles and improving their mental and physical well-being through surfing.

Gary has been surfing for over 30yrs and was drawn to volunteer mentoring with The Wave Project in 2016 “as a means to give some waves back for the greater good”.
“I’m stoked to not only be part of an amazing team of volunteers & coordinators but what is most rewarding is seeing the positive effects on young people’s lives right in front of my eyes.”
Kat as well as volunteering is also the creator of Kat Surf Forecast. Kat Surf Forecast.
The Wave Rangers project works alongside our project coordinators in Devon. The Wave Rangers initiative involves working with young people from across Devon who would benefit from participating in voluntary work. The project works in partnership with numerous other volunteer agencies in the county with a focus on outdoor activities and improving personal wellbeing through community participation.
“Since participating in The Wave Project she has found her confidence again and is a lot more willing to join in activities without the fear of what people think, a lot of this was down to the wonderful volunteers that really engage with the kids” South Devon Parent Feedback
We are continuously fundraising to keep our project going. In 2018 we received generous donations from BOOST, Tescos, Devon and Cornwall Police Ski Team, Loddiswell Church, Quayclick. Plus a team of incredible heros doing challenges to fundraise for the charity from the Bideford Half, Ocean Half, Great West Run, Tough Mudder and White Collar Boxing.
In 2019 Holiofest had the Wave Project as their official charity. Rockfish got on board, as well as the Devon and Somerset Junior Lawyers Division doing a whole mix of events throughout 2019 to support us.
