Surf Therapy 18 February 2023
February 18, 2023 @ 7:30 am - 1:30 pm
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
Here’s the plan for the next few months (more to follow via WhatsApp)
Each session is made possible by the generosity of sponsors, donors, volunteers and surfers – together we are reliant on each other and grateful for your precious gift of time, finances and friendship to create an inclusive community
- Surf sessions are by appointment for both surfers and volunteers
- Support teams are made up of a Safety Officer, a trained Adaptive Surf Coach, a trained Head Volunteer, trained volunteers, and trainee volunteers
- Depending on the needs of a surfer there will be between 2 and 8 team members per surfer
- NB for safety reasons – the surfer and volunteers will/may come into contact with each other
- The more volunteers we have, the more people can surf
- We will do our best to accommodate you on the date you select
- For Volunteers each session starts with a 45 min safety training session and will end with a 20 minute feedback session
- Please be on time – whether you are a surfer or a volunteer everyone’s time is precious – nervous surfers rely on volunteers; and cold volunteers wait for surfers:)
Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers and donors for making these events possible. If you would like to be part of our surf tribe changing a life one wave at a time please donate here.
