Riding the world's heaviest waves to fund life changing treatment for combat veterans.

WHY WE RIDE

TBI. PTSD. Addiction.

Our veterans are fighting invisible wars at home and more than twenty die by suicide every day.

We're here to take a stand.

A SEASONAL CAMPAIGN ENGINEERED FOR IMPACT.

A five month initiative aligned with the Northern Hemisphere's biggest waves. 
 
Each session drives awareness, donations, and healing for those still in the fight.

SON. SERVANT. SURFER.

Luca Padua is a professional big-wave surfer and founder of Bigger than Waves.

His commitment is simple:
Ride with conviction. Serve with precision. And hold the line for those still in the fight. 

"A sixty foot wave could kill me. But it won't follow me home. I get to walk away. Many of them don't."

PURPOSE MEETS PERFORMANCE

Our veterans are fighting battles most can't see. Every ride, every story, and every dollar moves the mission forward. 

Because performance means nothing without purpose.
