Més que Surf

Founded in 2017 by a team of psychologists and volunteers, Més que Surf uses the healing power of the sea and group activities to help children with ASD and other developmental disorders. Their innovative program, ‘Surf Terapéutico Solidario’, offers free surfing sessions every weekend from April to June at the Sitges Surf Club in Sitges, Spain. With the help of over 40 volunteers, Més que Surf is able to support 80 families each season and more than 120 during the academic year (September to June), creating life-changing experiences for children in need.

Beyond their therapeutic programs, Més que Surf also organizes community events like ‘Més que Fest’ a celebration of sports, art, and music designed to raise awareness and funds for their cause. Through donations, merchandise sales, and the effort from all the volunteers, Més que Surf continues to expand its impact, offering children with ASD a supportive and engaging environment where they can develop social skills, improve coordination, and build confidence through surfing.

Més que Surf’s founder, Adrián Esteve, expressed his gratitude for the generous donation. “We are thrilled to be recognized by Protest Sportswear and to receive this support. The €10,000 donation will go directly toward helping more children experience the therapeutic benefits of surfing. It will also allow us to expand our programs and provide even more families with the opportunity to be part of our community. Additionally, this funding will help us purchase much-needed equipment—such as surfboards, wetsuits, and lycras—so we can have our own gear instead of borrowing it each year.” For more information on Més que Surf and their programs, please visit mesquesurf.com.
