What is Wavewise?
WAVEWISE teaches our youth and adults a practical tool to deal with life’s personal challenges through learning to surf. By utilising experiential learning in surf sessions as life lessons WAVEWISE helps to enhance and sustain mental wellbeing and overall satisfaction in life.
To sustain this mission financially WAVEWISE will run as Social Enterprise to sustain itself: One adult session covers one youth session! All profits from adult surf sessions are used to sustain youth surf programmes!
To really understand what Wavewise provides and why it is so important for you to support this initiative, please check the website:
Wavewise Website: www.wavewise.co.nz
Who is Wavewise for?
The worldwide Wavewise Mindset community:
Wavewise aims at reaching a worldwide community to create the Wavewise mindset. It wants to connect people all over the world to think Wavewise and create awareness for mental health and coping strategies by understanding the metaphors the ocean provides.
The Wavewise Founder herself has run Surfcamps in Europe before and is connected worldwide through travelling and surfblogging.
The local Wavewise practical approach community:
To prove the effects of Wavewise and to start the movement, Wavewise will have a practical approach on the West Coast of New Zealand in our little community in the Buller Region to then transfer the model to other places.
The two local groups we are aiming at:
1. Youth from 13 years of age, who are able to reflect on personal challenges. We are mixing up young people from all backgrounds: At risk youth and high achievers as we believe that EVERY person is going through daily personal challenges and needs tools to sustain their mental health.
2. Adults of all ages who are interested in their personal development and who want to provide the same to one of our youth. Firstly we will target the people in our community and later on open up the concept with retreats so that people from away can come and enjoy the West Coast, its pureness and its Wavewise programme.
What we need the money for:
So far the sponsorship for 6 surfboards and 6 wetsuits have been sucessfully granted by approaching different businesses and people in our local community. To get Wavewise started properly there is more costs coming up for us that need to be covered:
- 1 more surfboard
- 10 more wetsuits
- 6 Rashguards
- Logo prints of sponsors on boards and rashguards
- Legal advice
- Insurance Costs (first off)
- First Aid Equipment
- Branding and Advertisement
- Pledge Me Fees 6,5 %
- Overseas conversion fees (if donated from overseas)
- Costs for rewards
---------------------------------------
7000 NZD
If we go beyond our target
Any amount exceeding our goal will be put straight into the youth programme and less adult lessons have to be awaited to start the youth sessions - so every amount counts and helps!
What our sponsors say about Wavewise
“Having seen Pana present her idea at a Co-Starters course, and suggesting the idea of corporate sponsorship, backing this up was an easy decision. Pana’s passion and commitment to surfing and youth will, we are sure, produce long-lasting and worthwhile outcomes and we were only too pleased to have been able to help get this underway.” – IT@Work // Sponsorship Surfboard
“Our 7 Day Makeover Crew is incredibly honoured to help sponsor the WaveWise initiative. This is a non-traditional approach to working with young people, and helping them ride the waves of life, and I am sure it will be incredibly successful. Congratulations to Pana, and all the others involved, in helping make this world a better place. To all potential sponsors, for a very small price, you can make a massive difference, so jump on board!” – 7 Day Makeover Crew // Sponsorship Surfboard
„Electro Services Limited are proud to support WaveWise helping Buller’s Youth through the lessons of the sea.“ – Electro Services Limited // Sponsorship Surfboard
“A Wild Peace Wellness centre are super excited to support WaveWise on its new journey. Its such an inspiring initiative to give back to our tamariki. Nature has many lessons to offer that traditional education does not provide, and to see WaveWise using the lessons from the ocean is super cool. Kia Kaha to all those involved in WaveWise” – A Wildpeace Center // Sponsorship Wetsuit
“West Coast Rewards is very pleased to support WaveWise. The concept of surf lessons paying for youth lessons is brilliant and shows the importance of giving back. Pana is great at what she does, she’s a very calming person who can relate well with young people and we believe combining her social work experience with surfing sounds like a great match. We wish Pana all the best for the future.” – West Coast Rewards // Sponsorship Wetsuit
