Help put a smile on a dial

Participants and volunteers alike find the Disabled Surfers Association events a rewarding experience.

Surfers Helping Surfers – that’s the Disabled Surfers Association’s (DSA) motto, but you don’t have to be a surfer to help out.
DSA hosts two events each summer, aimed at getting people of all abilities into the water and enjoying a wave or two.
Putting Smiles on Dials is another DSA mantra and it’s evident on the participants’ faces as the emerge from the ocean.
However, volunteers can get as much enjoyment as the participants, and DSA always needs volunteers to help make the event run smoothly.
This year’s events will be held at Ocean Grove main beach at 9am on Sunday 4 February and Sunday 4 March.
To sign up as a surfer or as a volunteer, head to disabledsurfers.org/vic/ocean-grove-branch/.
