Help us celebrate ONEWAVES 5TH Birthday in Monterey!
OneWave is a non-profit surf community raising awareness of mental health through saltwater therapy, surfing and fluro (think bright fluorescent colors) in Australia. Every single Friday for the last 5 years the OneWave Community has held Fluro Friday events where they dress in fluro and share waves and stories to raise awareness for mental health. To celebrate their 5th Birthday on Friday 23rd March they have a dream of creating One massive fluro Wave at 65+ beaches around the world. We need you to help!
