ReSurf is a nonprofit-style fundraising organization operating a sustainable mentorship program that teaches surfing to underprivileged children around the world. The initiative refurbishes donated surfboards, commissions local artwork to decorate them, and establishes surf clubs within community centers and public schools, with ongoing support from staff and eventual handover to participants to sustain the program over generations. The core value lies in providing access to surfing and a sense of community, while offering local, youth-focused activities in diverse regions. Based in Atlantic Beach, New York, ReSurf appears to operate with a small team and pursues its mission through community partnerships and youth development in the context of the broader fundraising sector. The program emphasizes long-term community impact by developing local surf clubs that can be sustained by participants and their communities.
