The Earthwave Global Surf Challenge is an initiative created by the Cape Town based Kahuna Surfing Academy that showcases the global nature of the surfing community, highlights their environmental concerns and issues a "call to action" on how we can reduce our impact on climate change.
By staging attempts on the Guinness World Record for the ‘most surfers riding one wave simultaneously’ on beaches worldwide on the first Sunday in September annually, Earthwave provides a platform for surfers of every age and ability to participate in an enjoyable group activity.
Leveraging the newsworthiness of world record attempts, Earthwave seeks to raise awareness of the threat of Global Warming and its effects on our oceans and waves while mobilizing the trendsetting surfing fraternity through practical advice on how to become part of the solution to the most devastating problem ever faced by mankind.

Estimado Amigo Paul:
Thank you again for organizing Earthwave. In response to this email please find my statement, sent on behalf of the Surfrider Foundation, regarding Global Warming below:
“The Surfrider Foundation Board of Directors,
Supports, through collaboration with partner organizations, efforts to reduce carbon and other greenhouse gas-causing emissions.
Will address coastal issues with increased urgency, take global warming and sea level rise into account when considering coastal and ocean issues, and encourage all public and private entities to do the same.
Believes that global warming and sea level rise further reduce the efficacy of shoreline armoring and beach fill.
Will thus continue to work to establish appropriate setbacks for coastal development based on current and predicted erosion, sea level rise and associated trends.
Will encourage immediate work towards managed landward retreat of existing structures from dynamic shorelines, including shorelines affected by sea level rise.”

Un fuerte abrazo
