It remains a privilege to share para surfing and surf therapy with thousands of surfers with disabilities and volunteers across the Western Cape through a formalised Para Surfing Programme that started in 2016. I have been selected as\u00a0voluntary Head Coach<\/strong>\u00a0to lead the team.<\/p>\nThere are a particular group of surfers who, no matter their (dis)ability, come down to the beach, adapt, excel and have earned a spot at the\u00a0World Para Surf Championships in Pismo Beach California 4-11 December this year<\/strong>.<\/p>\nFor the\u00a0FIRST time<\/strong>\u00a0South Africa will be sending a team of nine male and five female para surfers and six support team members to the World Para Surf Championships. Each year the team grows in numbers, (dis)ability classifications and skills.<\/p>\nIn\u00a02020 the SA team came 6th out of 22 countries<\/strong>\u00a0and brought home four medals.
