The Water We Share: Community Water Filter Setup + Surf Competition

📍 La Perla, El Salvador
📅 Thursday, February 5th - Friday, February 6th, 2026

​For the first time ever, we’re calling in the Seek Discomfort community in El Salvador.

​The Water We Share is a two-day community gathering centered around movement, service, and access to one of our most essential resources: clean water.

​In partnership with W.A.T.A. (Water Access To All), we’re coming together in La Perla, a coastal town where surfing is a source of pride and community, and access to clean drinking water can change lives.

​This event blends surf culture, youth empowerment, and hands-on impact, and we’re inviting you to be part of it.

Day 1: February 5
Surf Competition & Community Gathering

​We’ll kick things off with a local youth surf competition, celebrating young surfers in La Perla and supporting them as leaders within their community.

​Seek Discomfort community members are invited to:

  • ​Help support and run the surf competition
  • ​Be part of the energy on the beach
  • ​Cheer on local youth and connect with the community

​During the day, W.A.T.A. will also begin distributing household water filters to participating families.

Day 2: February 6
Community Water Filter Installation

​On day two, we shift fully into service.

​Alongside the W.A.T.A. team, we’ll help install household water filters for families in La Perla- providing access to clean, safe drinking water and hands-on education on how to use and maintain the systems.

​Seek community members will assist with:

  • ​Water filter installations
  • ​Community support and logistics
  • ​Connecting with local families

​No prior experience is needed- just a willingness to show up and help.

​Free Seek Discomfort merch giveaways for everyone who joins us on either of these days.

Who This Is For:

  • ​Members of the Seek Discomfort community in El Salvador
  • ​Anyone who believes in movement, service, and showing up for others
  • ​Those who want to be part of real, on-the-ground impact
  • ​You can join us for one or both of the days.

Why This Matters:

​Clean water changes everything. Community changes everything.

​This event isn't just a surf competition or volunteering, it’s about coming together around something we all share, and taking action where it matters most.

​If you’ve ever wanted to seek discomfort beyond yourself, this is your invitation.
