Surfpop

Surfpop Surfpop was founded in 2015 to share the love for surfing and the ocean with at-risk youth. We want to use surfing as a form of communication and inspiration.

Surfpop aims to establish a way out for children from disadvantaged communities, leading them away from gangsterism, crime and drugs. The ‘way out’ entails a new outlook on life, brought about by the love for surfing and the ocean. There is a need for people to help children in struggling communities, as they are faced with problems far greater than most of us can imagine. Along with being able to

influence this new outlook on life, we want to share the stoke of surfing with you, and have you standing up, riding and carving some lines. Your will be required to absorb this knowledge and apply it through interactive surf sessions with the children. This is something very unique that they would otherwise never have the opportunity to do. We want to give them something to look forward to; give them hope; show them compassion; and most importantly, put massive smiles on their faces.

This week has been the hardest in Surfpop’s history 💔

We lost one of our beloved team members, Tata Zwai. He was a father figure at Surfpop — a mentor, a role model, and a source of strength and inspiration for our children, our team, our volunteers and so many in his community. He showed us what it truly means to care for others.

Zwai, we will miss you deeply 😭 You leave behind a legacy that will live on in all of us.

Our hearts are with his family, friends, and everyone who loved him.

The Surfpop family has grown so much over the last 11 years since kickstarting in 2015!

We have welcomed new participants and team members, while watching our original participants evolve and reach new heights. We currently have approximately 80 children attending across our Khayelitsha and Masiphumelele campuses. Although the circle has grown, our Surfpop family is as tight knit as ever. We see each other every day of the week, continually checking in with one another - learning, encouraging and achieving together.

Caregivers notice improved resilience in their children when they join Surfpop:

“Surfpop has created a safe and trusted environment for my child: he expresses his emotions in a healthier way than he did before, recovers quickly from disappointment/failures and he sees every mistake as a learning opportunity for growth.”
