Let’s Catch the Wave Together.

Silent Wave Project is building inclusive surf experiences for Deaf youth and young adults through the power of the ocean, the support of community partners, and the belief that access should never be a barrier to adventure. To make this work possible, we’re looking for partners who care about accessibility, outdoor experience, creative storytelling, and meaningful impact.

We’re not just asking for support — we’re bringing value back through thoughtful collaboration. With a background in graphic design, photography, drone work, van building, and years of hands-on outdoor experience, we can offer partners real-world feedback, compelling visuals, and authentic storytelling that connects with audiences in a powerful way.

What We Bring

  • Accessibility feedback for gear, systems, and experiences from a Deaf-centered perspective.

  • Photography and drone content for campaigns, marketing, and storytelling.

  • Graphic design support for visuals, layouts, and branded materials.

  • Real-world outdoor experience built from years of surfing, camping, and van travel.

  • Practical insight into how outdoor and travel gear can better serve Deaf users and accessible adventure travelers.

Who We’re Looking to Partner With

We’re interested in working with:

  • Surf and outdoor brands.

  • Vehicle and van companies.

  • Gear and equipment manufacturers.

  • Deaf organizations and schools.

  • Wetsuit, board, and surf retailers.

  • Accessibility-focused technology companies.

  • Community nonprofits and grant organizations.

Our Roadmap

Phase 1: The PNW Corridor
Launching surf-based experiences and youth clinics in Oregon and the surrounding region.

Phase 2: The Silent Highway
Documenting a surf and camping journey down the West Coast to expand partnerships and grow the project.

Phase 3: Global Reach
Building relationships that can help bring surf access and Deaf-centered outdoor experiences to coastal communities beyond the U.S.

Let’s Build Something Meaningful

If you believe in accessibility, adventure, and creating space for Deaf youth and young adults to feel confident and connected, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can turn the shoreline into a place of opportunity, growth, and belonging.
