STG FINANCE IS HERE TO HELP YOU.
Sharing the sport of surfing with mindfulness practices
Waves of Giving was founded out of a shared passion for surfing and a desire to give back to marginal coastal communities. Surfing has profoundly impacted our lives, inspiring us to uplift others through mentorship, coaching, and the provision of equipment. Our mission is to empower surfers in the Philippines and beyond, helping them grow both in and out of the water. By fostering a sustainable and supportive surfing culture, we envision a thriving environment where surfers can develop their skills, gain certifications, and contribute positively to their communities. Our journey has already touched lives across eight barangays, and we are committed to continuing our support for these communities.

Jay-R Esquivel recently secured the #2 rank in the WSL after an impressive 2nd place performance at the WSL World Tour in Huntington Beach, where he went head-to-head with Tyler Jensen. Through the Waves of Giving program, Matt Chojnaki joined Jay-R’s team of coaches and mentors in February 2024. Matt's mission is to help Jay-R incorporate and cultivate mindfulness practices into his training, further enhancing his performance and overall well-being.

Our Story
Surfing has profoundly transformed my life, immensely improving my health and well-being and allowing me to connect with nature in a blissful way. I've always had a strong desire to live a life of service, and surfing has enabled me to do that beautifully. Through beach clean-ups and conversations with like-minded individuals who care deeply about our planet, I began to realize how important it is to protect our shared playground. One of my life missions is to keep our oceans healthy. Surfing has taught me the importance of nature in living our best lives: take care of nature, and nature will take care of us.
Ross has always been eager to give back whenever there's an opportunity. When we discussed the gift of helping others, I shared my journey of supporting surfers in our community by telling their stories. Our conversation led to the idea of helping kids by providing equipment and teaching them how to surf. Ross offered to purchase 20 surfboards and asked me to take them to remote coastal communities in the Philippines. I gladly accepted the challenge.
Since then, Waves of Giving has traveled X miles to eight barangays and supported more than a dozen athletes, both financially and through coaching. We continue to provide support and sponsorships to the communities we serve.
