Scottish groms compete at World Champs in Rio

Aim: The Scottish junior surf team are competing at the world championships in Rio. We need help to pay for the flights and accommodation.

Who are we?

The Scottish Surfing Federation are sending a team of the best junior surfers in Scotland to compete at the Isa World Junior Surfing Championships in Rio, Brazil. The competition runs from the 24th November to 3rd December 2023. There are 9 competitors  from different regions of Scotland and are between the ages of 12 and 18. They will have a support team with them.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We are crowdfunding on behalf of the Scottish Surfing Federation. All funds raised will help with the expenses of sending the junior surf team to Brazil to represent Scotland. The overall cost will be approx £25-£30k. We are crowdfunding to help with flight and accommodation costs.

How we’ll spend the money raised.

All money raised will go towards flights and accommodation costs.
