The concept at the start was very simple: every ridden km raised some cash for WAVES, and for Summit from 2013. This grant was paid either by the riders themselves or by a sponsor backing and encouraging them to ride as many km as possible.
In 2011 we decided to rename the event in order to focus on the charity race and WAVES’ mission: “Ride for the Cause” (R4tC) was born.
In 2012 and 2013, the targets became more ambitious and the event got larger. It had to move to a new spot, the Pierrier Beach in Clarens-Montreux, however the concept and the spirit remained the same.
Sincere and authentic, R4tC welcomed more and more participants, families, surfers and visitors. All gathered on the beach to prolong the summer season and support good causes of WAVES and Summit.
