Supporting Shark Bite Survivor Joe Hoffman (+ Daniels Surfboard Giveaway)

Supporting Shark Bite Survivor Joe Hoffman (+ Daniels Surfboard Giveaway)

Thrills wouldn't be what it is without the support of our extended family. Put simply; our people are an important part of who we are and what we do, and when one is experiencing hardship we feel the weight and a duty to do what we can to help. 

Part of our extended family is Joe Hoffman, who is part of our local Byron Bay surf community and good friend to us here at Thrills HQ. 

Last week while surfing, Joe was involved in a serious incident with a 3 meter great white shark. He remains in a stable condition, yet is fighting to retain full functionality of his right arm with multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation ahead of him. Joe will be facing considerable financial hardship and won’t be able to provide income for himself for the foreseeable future. We want him to be able to focus on the important things instead of worrying about $$

 

We're not about talking the talk, but about taking real action, which is why we're offering to match any donations made by you, our Thrills friends and family. We're all in this together, and we're here to prove that any small donation can make a difference in someone's world.

  1. Make a donation to the Go Fund Me Page
  2. Send us the receipt (through Instagram DM or email someone@thrills.co)
  3. We'll match your donation
  4. You'll go into the draw to WIN a brand new 5'11 Bat Wing Twin Daniels Surfboard with Akila Fiberglass Twin Fins from Futures + we'll send you a special 20% off Thrills discount code as a thank you for your generosity

Big love from all of us.

T&Cs: Giveaway open to worldwide entries. Donations will be matched up until, and including, $2000 AUD, finishing at 11:59pm AEST 18th July.

UPDATE:

Thrills friends and family, we're so excited to announce that you donated an incredible total of $11,859 to Joe's go-fund-me page! Together with our donation of $2,000 that's a massive $13,859 that will go towards making a difference in Joe's world. We're blown away by how generous our community is. Thank you for all who got behind this cause and were able to make a positive change!
