The 100 Wave Challenge is an annual surf-a-thon event that brings together hundreds of surfers to empower teenage boys in the San Diego community. Each surfer aims to catch 100 waves in one day and raise $1,000 or more to support Boys to Men Mentoring, a nonprofit mentoring hundreds of struggling and disconnected teenage boys. As the 100 Wave Challenge's largest annual fundraising event, it raises critical funds to expand Boys to Men's in-school mentoring program.

WAVE-BREAKING NEWS: This year's event is back to our BIG single-day event and will take place at Mission Beach on Saturday, September 28, 2024!

Time: 7:00 AM
Location: Across Mission Beach Park, 3000 Mission Blvd, San Diego, CA 92109

Whether you catch 100 waves or 20, you'll leave the water knowing you've made a difference.
