The Disabled Surfers Association’s South West branch will hold its first Let’s Go Surfing event of the season at Bunker Bay next Saturday.
The events are held once a month during summer, and attract up to 70 volunteers and 40 participants from across the Capes.
DSA is a not-for-profit organisation whose sole purpose is to give people with varying disabilities the opportunity to have a safe, happy surfing experience.
Their philosophy is that despite having a mental or physical disability, everyone deserves the opportunity to give surfing a go.
As well as surfing, there will be beach games and a sausage sizzle.
No surfing experience is required and new volunteers are welcome.
To volunteer or participate, arrive at Bunker Bay before 9am on Saturday, December 8 to register.
