What we do
FREE PROGRAMS.
Our surf, art, and music programs are open to anyone facing disadvantage, 18 and over. No cost. No barriers. Just sign up.
The ocean doesn't care where you're from.
LEARN TO SURF
We take people to the water who've never had the chance. Surf sessions run as part of our fundraising events, so when you come to a Chillus gig or event, you're directly funding someone's first time on a board.
Every person has a story worth telling.
CREATE SOMETHING
Art sessions run alongside our events, open, unstructured, and welcoming. Painting, drawing, printmaking, collage. Led by Caspian de Looze, artist to the stars. Caspian's work has been created for some of the biggest names in music, including Metallica, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem, Pink, Justin Bieber and One Direction, with surfboards he painted for Pearl Jam on display in their museum.
Sound brings people together like nothing else.
THE DALE MIRANDA MUSIC PROJECT
