SurfAid and URBNSURF bring back the “World’s Best Surf Month

News supplied:

Sydney, Australia – June 2, 2026: This September, SurfAid and URBNSURF are back for the second year of their World’s Best Surf Month giveaway, giving one lucky surfer the chance to live the dream: 30 consecutive days of perfect waves at URBNSURF Sydney or Melbourne.

This unique giveaway invites surfers to win 30 session passes to URBNSURF where they’ll be able to ride over 400 flawless waves while participating in SurfAid’s Make A Wave challenge, a global fundraising event where participants surf every day in September to raise money for remote surf communities.

To enter, surfers must submit a 60-second video sharing their passion for surfing, what this challenge means to them, and how they plan to creatively capture their month-long experience in the wave pool. 

Remote surf breaks have defined SurfAid and their work, however they know that not everyone can access perfect waves all the time. That’s what makes URBNSURF such a game-changer and a natural partner for the surf charity.

“We’re stoked to be back with URBNSURF for the second year of the World’s Best Surf Month giveaway,” said Matt Wiseman, SurfAid’s Chief Marketing and Fundraising Manager.

“The Make A Wave challenge is about so much more than surfing. It’s about using your passion for surfing to create real change for communities who need it most. The wave pool makes surfing every day so much more achievable, you never have to check the forecast and our winner can focus entirely on progression, fundraising, and sharing their journey with the world,” said Matt.

2025 winner Kyuss Rimmer, who surfed every day at URBNSURF Sydney and raised $2,799 for SurfAid, says the experience exceeded every expectation. 

“My surfing 100% improved over the month and I got to learn how to ride barrels on repeat. SurfAid has made me realise that my surfing can have a much bigger impact outside of just me and the waves. It was a life-changing experience,” said Kyuss.

Applications are now open and the chosen surfer will surf and fundraise daily, sharing their journey through engaging, original content on social media. Entries will be judged on creativity, storytelling, and passion for the sport.

Key Dates:

●      Entries Open: Monday, June 2

●      Entries Close: Monday, June 30

●      Winner Announced: July 15

●      Surf Month: September 1–30

About SurfAid

SurfAid is a humanitarian organisation whose aim is to improve the health, well-being and resilience of people living in isolated regions connected to us through surfing.

Started by a group of concerned surfers in 2000 who were struck by the needless suffering and preventable death in the Mentawai Islands, SurfAid works hand-in-hand with communities in Indonesia to bring about sustainable health change while respecting the unique culture and customs of these islands communities. They believe that working with communities to develop their own solutions is the most effective form of aid: a “hand up, not a hand out” approach.
