Waves4Water, which delivers water filters to communities in need worldwide, brought filters to a township in South Africa with the help of Aleph Surf's Rehgert van Zyl during the J-Bay Open. World Surf League partners with the organization to deliver filters to communities that host surfing competitions around the world, as well as other areas -- from Nepal to Vanuatu.
