The Problem

Ride Nature is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization that was founded in May 2010 and is based in Naples, FL. With a focus on providing children living in third world countries the opportunities to surf and skateboard by giving them FREE surfboards and skateboards, Ride Nature is having an impact all over the world. Since May of 2010 we have traveled to Nicaragua and Peru to bring boards, clothes, school supplies, and hope to children that were living in extreme poverty. With the help and support of many others we currently have 5 international trips planned for 2011. In addition to international trips, we are also very involved locally in the community and will be kicking off the 2011 year with a huge outreach project in the city of Immokalee. I can personally testify we are far exceeding our expectations and our dreams are only continuing to grow as the support increases as well.

Plan of Action

With recent support from Zap skimboards with a donation of 115 brand new skimboards, the Quiksilver Foundation with over 30 pairs of new board shorts, 11 boxes of Rainbow Sandals, Monster Energy support, Jedidiah Clothing, GoPro, and many other local companies we are raising support and making a difference all around the world.
