We collect in surf stores and through friends.

• A number of stores work with us, they accept boards and equipment. You can always visit a store during opening hours.
• Our friends and the Provide the Silde team organize private collection points, especially in areas with no stores nearby. Here you have to set a date with us in advance for the handover.

Repair

• We inspect all boards and repair damages that will reduce the life span of the board.
• All boards will be registered and get our Provide the Silde logo sprayed on them.

Complete Board Packages

• We try to send only complete board packages as much as possible. That means every board comes with fins, a leash and at best a board-bag and also wax to its new owner.
• Without fins and leash you can't surf very well, a bag increases the life span enormously. That's why it's so important that you donate bags, single fins and everything else don’t need yourself for surfing.

Sale and Exchange for Eccessories

• So far we received more bare boards than fin sets, bags and leashes. To get complete sets we exchange or sell selected boards. We sell about 10% of the boards and always make sure that we get a good deal.
• We do need cash for shipping: customs fees, containerspace, and transportationto the destination (e.g. by truck).

Sponsor a board shipment

In addition to donating a board, you can also support Provide the Slide by covering the costs of preparing and shipping a board. On average, each board costs 75 Euro each to ship, repair and to complete. Roughly broken down as:

1. Repair & Completing set up   |  25 Euro
Each board gets checked, repaired and is shipped with fins, a leash, a board bag and wax.
2. Shipping costs oversea  |  25 Euro
Though Provide the Slide receives preferential shipping rates, the cost of each board still averages out to 25,-.
3. Shipping costs overland Africa  |  25 Euro
We often address remote areas, reliable transportation to remote regions can be a challenge.

Accessories Donation

We only send "complete" board sets with fins, a leash and at best a bag. Fins, leashes and bags are always missing. Also wax, fin keys and screws are often missing. Even a single fin helps, because we can make complete new sets from leftover equipment.

Share Our Project

The more people know about our project, the more boards and equipment we get. Whether word of mouth or social media, every recommendation helps.
