Support My Tribe is our biggest fundraising push of the year, running from August 1 to 30. It's all about rallying together to raise $30,000 for the mission of Christian Surfers New Zealand. We're asking surfers, supporters, past members, and anyone who loves what we do to get behind it.
This campaign fuels the heartbeat of our mission: to connect every surfer and every surfing community in New Zealand with the life-changing message of Jesus.
Whether it's reaching new young surfers, backing local leaders, or resourcing events, your support goes straight into the field.
We want to be super clear about where the $30,000 goes:
$9,000 – Staff and Local Leader Support
$7,000 – Youth Camps (including New Swell)
$5,000 – Media and Storytelling (videos, reels, website)
$3,000 – Bibles and Discipleship Resources
$3,000 – Leadership Development (training, retreats)
$3,000 – Core National Events (like Jesus Classic)
Everything raised is poured back into real people, real mission, and real stories — right here in Aotearoa.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
"I’d just come in from a surf, still dripping wet, and this guy I’d never met comes up with a smile and hands me a Bible. Didn’t expect it, but something about it felt real. That was the first Bible I ever owned. Still got it. We got chatting right there on the beach, ended up having a yarn for ages. Now I’m part of the local Christian Surfers crew, it’s become a bit of a home for me."
- Gizzy Surfer
"It was definitely the right move for me. Perfect amount of time for everything, surfing, exploring, adventure, faith building, personal development the list goes on! Definitely been the best 5 months of my life and I feel like it has allowed God to shape me into the best version of me."
- CSALT Student
"It all started with Christian Surfers, and what we started talking about this term. I heard about baptism, and the leaders took me through a kind of course...about two weeks after I heard about it, I heard God just calling me to just take that next step with him and to get baptised. I really just think it's the next step with God, and making this public that I am gonna be with Jesus and that he is mine."
