Commitment

Surf the Greats Toronto Surf City Lake Ontario Freshwater Fund Canada

At Surf the Greats, we are fully committed to our community and the preservation of our natural resources. In addition to our monthly community events, we have created a fund to support the important work by organizations who strive to protect our home waters. We will contribute 1% of yearly revenue to our 'Freshwater Fund' and direct it to an organization which demonstrates a commitment to our common goal.

Thanks to you, we donated our 2017 Freshwater Fund to the Lake Ontario Waterkeeper in recognition of their mandate to protect & promote clean waters in Canada.

For 2018 and 2019 we have chosen Swim Drink Fish Canada as the beneficiary of our Fund.

We are now accepting submissions from initiatives, programs and agencies for 2020 funding. Please reach out via aloha@surfthegreats.org with your proposal

Mindfulness & Surfing

In order to harness the power of nature to catch a wave, one must be fully aware of the present moment. Aligning mind, breath and body to paddle at the right time, to pop-up at the exact moment required to drop in and ride that wave. Each wave provides you with a fresh opportunity to forget about everything else that’s going on in your life and simply focus on that connection with the water for a brief moment—this is mindfulness in its purest form.

Surf Reads

We all remember the simple pleasure of curling up on the couch or lounging in a hammock with a great book. For your reading pleasure, we’ve assembled a collection of ten books including options for the whole family—young to old, surfers and non-surfers alike. It is our hope that one of these might brighten your day, enrich your mind and help you maintain your vital link to the water.
