Past gatherings

At WNDRFL, we believe that real change starts at the local level. That’s why we’re partnering with Oceanus, a nonprofit organization leading one of the most impactful coral reef restoration programs in the Mexican Caribbean. This initiative aims to empower the local community of Tulum through education, fieldwork, and certification. Participants will be trained to understand the challenges our reefs face, and how they can take part in the long-term efforts to regenerate marine ecosystems. This is a unique opportunity to join a meaningful program that blends science, environmental action, and community collaboration, turning knowledge into direct, hands-on restoration.

Our approach to surfing is all about joy, inspiration, and ease. No pressure—just play. Our world-class surf team includes local legends Nathan Curren, Justine DeLanne, and Sylvain Frei (currently on sabbatical from coaching big wave surfers in Nazaré). With deep experience and vibrant personalities, they make learning to surf not just accessible, but unforgettable. Peter and Jens are always nearby for stories, surf philosophy, and soul-boosting pep talks. This is the Basque experience: a balance of Yin and Yang, infused with a wabi-sabi spirit. Come as you are, embrace the flow.

WNDRFL returns to Los Angeles, the city where its founders’ journey began — to close out Rock for Resilience with a live, multisensory performance titled The Overview Effect. Inspired by the phenomenon experienced by astronauts when viewing Earth from space, The Overview Effect invites audiences into a state of expanded awareness — one shaped by sound, light, and presence. Through layered music, visual art, and an immersive environment, the performance becomes a container for awe, unity, and emotional resonance. Los Angeles holds deep roots for WNDRFL’s story. It is where lifelong friendships were formed, where careers in music, design, and cultural experience first took shape, and where the early seeds of Habitas were planted. Invited by longtime friend and Los Angeles Fire Brigade board member David Hertz, the team returns to a place that gave them so much, offering something back in the form of ritual, reflection, and shared energy. Set against the backdrop of a festival built on resilience, community, and creativity, The Overview Effect is not just a finale, it is a moment of stillness, perspective, and possibility. A chance to look inward, look outward, and look again. A closing note with no ending, only expansion.
