“If you go out in the morning and surf, then you’re a better person for the rest of the day.” Chris Klein, co-founder of @providetheslide , shares a truth we can all agree on. Provide the Slide collects donated surfboards across Europe and delivers them to surf communities in over 10 African countries. This sequence is from my latest film WE THE SURFERS, produced by @hand_studio . Watch the full documentary and dive into Liberia’s surf scene and the story behind Provide the Slide. Head to wethesurfers.com [🔗 Link in bio] to find: – Where to watch the full film 🎬 – How to support Provide the Slide 🤙 – Drop-off locations to donate your surfboards 📍 #wethesurfers #documentary #liberia #surfing #documentaire #africa #surffilm #surf #providetheslide by @providetheslide

Les amis! Our short film NIO KO BOKK (This Belongs to All of Us) has been on QUITE the journey over the past six months. Here’s the full update! The film continues to tour at festivals across the world and we’re excited to announce we’ve picked up six awards so far. Thanks to the Open Water Grand Jury Prize by @oceanic.global we were able to send a container full of surfboards to @surf_niofar school !!! What a dream it is to finish a film and then see it deliver tangible impact🥺 This was all possible thanks to @providetheslide who collect, repair, and redistribute used equipment from Europe to surf communities across West Africa. Thanks to these legends, their cabana is now stocked to the brim! 
 It’s pretty amazing to see how many people resonate with @surfeurpapa and @seydi_110 story. If you would like to watch the film, link in bio. by @providetheslide

PTS- Destination Gambia 🇬🇲: Several shipments of PTS-boards entered Gambia in the last years. The last ones were distributed by reddolphinlifeguards - a group of volunteer lifeguards along the gambian coastline. They make sure everybody stays safe and rescue people frequently. With the support of the PTS-boards they can now gain a little income by renting out the boards to tourists and provide simple surf-lessons. During the last distribution they gave away boards to ppl of the community by letting them show their surf skills on the softboard: If anybody was able to catch a good one on the foamie, he or she could come back in and grab a PTS board. Last pic: Latest shipment of 20 foamies just left our storage an is on the way to Gambia 💥 Thanks to our friends @nilsebding and @fatou_sun for their support and organisation. #providetheslide #wemakepeoplesurf #surfboardsforacause #surfgambia by @providetheslide
This one is special. 🇨🇮🌊 A new drop of boards from @providetheslide , including cutting-edge @firewiresurfboards , is now making its way into the hands of four surf clubs across the Ivorian coast. For us, this is about much more than new equipment. It’s about access. Opportunity. Progress. Putting state-of-the-art surfboards into our local communities gives the next generation of Ivorian surfers the tools to progress, push their limits, and see just how far they can take their surfing. Ivorian surfing is growing. The talent is here. The passion is here. And with the right support and resources, there is no limit to where we can go. This is a huge push forward for our surf community and we’re ready to take it to the next level. 🇨🇮🚀 A massive thank you to @providetheslide and @firewiresurfboards for believing in the movement and helping make this possible. The future of Ivorian surfing is being built right now. 🌊🇨🇮 #SurfCotedIvoire #ProvideTheSlide #FirewireSurfboards #IvoryCoastSurfing #AfricanSurfing SurfAfrica NextGeneration Français: Ce drop est vraiment spécial pour nous. 🇨🇮🌊 Une nouvelle vague de planches offerte par Provide The Slide, dont des Firewire Surfboards à la pointe de la technologie, va rejoindre quatre clubs de surf le long du littoral ivoirien. Pour nous, c’est bien plus que du nouveau matériel. C’est de l’accès. Des opportunités. Du progrès. Mettre du matériel de cette qualité entre les mains de nos communautés, c’est donner à une nouvelle génération de surfeurs ivoiriens les moyens de progresser, de repousser leurs limites et de découvrir jusqu’où leur talent peut les mener. Le surf ivoirien grandit. Le talent est là. La passion est là. Et avec les bons outils et le bon soutien, il n’y a aucune limite à ce que nous pouvons accomplir. C’est une immense avancée pour notre communauté — et nous sommes prêts à passer au niveau supérieur. 🇨🇮🚀 Un immense merci à @providetheslide et @firewiresurfboards de croire en ce mouvement et de rendre tout cela possible. Le futur du surf ivoirien se construit maintenant. 🌊🇨🇮 by @providetheslide

Where there is a will, there is a way. In some places around the world, children grow up with almost nothing, but use their creativity and skills to make the most of what they have. This is Reagan Treegbee, a young Liberian surfer, surfing on a wooden plank. Three years ago, he didn’t have a surfboard, so he surfed with whatever he could find. I posted this video a couple of months ago, and it went pretty viral. Thanks to that, Reagan was contacted by 3x World Surfing Champion Gabriel Medina, who offered him the opportunity to receive two brand-new custom surfboards. Through surfing, Reagan has had the chance to travel to different African countries to compete, and he even won a contest in Côte d’Ivoire! Reagan is one of the most talented young surfers in Liberia, and perhaps in all of West Africa. Now, we’re just waiting for him to receive his new boards! 🔥 Surfing can change lives. You can help by donating surfboards to @providetheslide . To learn more about the Liberian surf community, watch the documentary WE THE SURFERS, available on all major VOD platforms across English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French speaking countries. #liberia #documentary #surfing #noboardnoproblem #africa by @providetheslide
