Surf's Up! South Africa's 'Waves For Change' Wins Big at Laureus

Waves for Change, a non-profit organisation in Muizenberg Cape Town, was initially founded to create awareness of sea pollution but has since become a support for youth who have been exposed to violence who learn life skills through surfing.

"Surfing has made me wise and made me stick to my values and to have principles for myself" – Apish Tshetsha, first to join #wavesforchange and now one of our top coaches.
