Action Sports Foundation is a 501(c)3 public charity created by action sports athletes, instructors, and industry professionals with a mission of preserving and increasing access, growing action sports in a positive direction, and of course, "sharing the stoke" with others!

Not only are we doing good things for the sports we love, we're building positive relations in the community through public service events, programs, exhibitions, and training/safety clinics and materials. Supporters of ASF are jumping in and helping to transform our vision into a movement, and getting their locals involved in their communities. Using the platform of action sports, we bring a fresh approach to community involvement, action, and service while highlighting the healthy, positive lifestyle of action sports.

Most action sports can be relatively safe, as long you have the appropriate knowledge, gear, and the right location and conditions to do it safely. One thing all action sports have in common, is that if someone with experience is there to guide you, learning is quicker, safer, and more fun. ASF and its partner coaches and athletes are creating programs, clinics, and courses that will help introduce the sports safely. We're also working to increase access to suitable coastal areas and waterways to practice safely.
