The Ingrained Foundation was established in 2018 receiving $1 for every hectolitre of Stone & Wood beer produced, it has donated more than $2.8 million across Australia through grants, fundraising, emergency relief and direct support.
During the 2025 Ingrained Foundation grants round, the Disabled Surfers Association (DSA) Far North Coast Branch applied for funding to purchase a custom-fitted trailer essential for transporting specialised surf equipment and adapted wheelchairs. While the application was unsuccessful, the need remained critical to ensuring people with disability across the Far North Coast of NSW could continue to experience the joy and freedom of surfing.
At the same time, Stone & Wood was announced as the official beer partner for all major World Surf League (WSL) events in Australia. With a deep connection to surf culture and a shared commitment to community, the Stone & Wood team were inspired to find another way to support the Disabled Surfers Association.
That spark led to the creation of the ‘Win a Twin Fin 2025’ raffle – offering surf fans the chance to win one of five iconic twin-fin surfboards. Each board has been hand-shaped by renowned Australian shapers and ridden by professional surfers at recent WSL events, making them a true piece of surfing history.
Importantly, every dollar raised through the raffle will go directly to the Disabled Surfers Association Far North Coast Branch to fund the purchase of the much-needed custom trailer.
