MyWave – Youth Movement

A youth movement born from the ocean

Why we exist

MyWave promotes life balance through surf and water sports. We want to help children, teenagers and families discover the strength and joy of doing water sports in nature — a healthy alternative to endless hours online in front of devices.

Who started MyWave

Hi! I am Bubu, 14 years old, and I am a junior professional surfer. With support from family, friends and surf community I want to launch MyWave to help you discover the beauty of surfing and other water sports. Surfing changed my life, maybe it can change yours too!

What we believe

MyWave is here to help you discover aware outdoor water sports and encourage youth to live more offline and more alive. We believe the sea, the ocean is one of the best places to build confidence, friendships and real-life skills — far away from constant screens and notifications.

A full school day by the sea: classes try surf or other water sports with certified instructors, while phones stay in bags.

A week that mixes school projects, ocean sports and talks about digital balance, mental health and life skills learned from the sea.

Fun and immersive camps where teens surf, sail, SUP and build friendships away from screens, with coaches and ocean time every day.

For families

Why the sea is the perfect place to rebuild connection

Help bring more youth to the ocean

MyWave is a community project. Your support helps us offer scholarships, safe equipment and trained instructors to youth who would otherwise not reach the sea.

Spread the word

Help spread our message and grow our movement. Share our website, our mission, and our story so more people can join the wave. Share MyWave with friends, families and organizations who care about youth mental health and outdoor sports. One conversation can start a new group of ocean-loving teens.

Partner with schools

We collaborate with schools that want to add ocean days, life-skills projects and digital-balance workshops to their school year. Help us connect with a school in your area.

Financial Support

Visit our webshop, all profits are used to grow this project. Support us through donations — every contribution helps us develop new programs, support talented young athletes in competitions, and offer grants to kids who wouldn’t normally have the chance to experience the ocean.

Surf the waves, not the internet
