Uniting champions of the water world was a vital step in laying the foundations for the Godfathers of the Ocean to achieve our primary goal of raising awareness and funds for various charities across the globe. We take great pride in our history of hosting charity events that bring together water sports enthusiasts with a common goal of helping those in need. These events, held yearly for over a decade, hold a special place in the legacy of the Godfathers of the Ocean. We are forever grateful to our fellow athletes, friends, sponsors, and family who have supported us throughout the years. Together, we have made a significant impact and will continue to do so for years to come.
