5 December- International Volunteers Day and International Day of Persons with Disabilities Beach Day
Join us for a morning filled with surfing, connection, and celebration as we recognise the spirit of community, resilience, and shared purpose that drives the Roxy Davis Foundation.
Date: Saturday, 5 December 2026
Location: Muizenberg Beach
Theme: Honouring volunteers and persons with disabilities through community celebration
The December programme brings two significant global observances together: International Volunteers Day (5 December) and the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (3 December). The beach day will recognise the volunteers whose ongoing contribution makes our work possible and celebrate the participants, athletes and families at the heart of the Roxy Davis Foundation community.
World record attempt:
Anchoring the day is our world record attempt for the most number of para surfers riding the same wave. This attempt is a statement of what adaptive surfing can be when given visibility, infrastructure and community support. It places para surfers at the centre of the narrative and creates a moment of celebration that closes the year with impact, ambition and shared achievement.
The Surf Therapy clinics are designed for:
- Anyone who has a permanent or temporary disability
- Community members who’d like to volunteer their time and support in changing lives
