WHY BIGGER THAN WAVES

Bigger Than Waves was founded by professional big-wave surfer, Luca Padua, to turn performance in the ocean into real-world impact.

What began in the ocean evolved into a platform for purpose, riding the world's heaviest waves to fund healing for those who've carried the weight of war.

The mission is simple:
Ride with purpose. Deliver results. Never waste the momentum.
