One of the more uplifting events on the Ocean Grove calendar, Disabled Surfers, has set its 2018 dates.
People with a disability will get the chance to ride a wave on 4 February and 4 March.
The goal for Disabled Surfers is to provide an inclusive experience for all people with any disability to experience the rush of riding a wave.
Ocean Grove has world class beach facilities that help make the experience be as inclusive as possible and volunteers are always welcomed, in fact the program would not operated without them.
Facilities include: special needs changing/amenities; wheelchair ramp access from the car park all the way to the sand; specialised beach wheelchairs (to suit adults and children).
Specialised beach wheelchairs are available for use along the Bellarine and Surf coast free of charge by the community at any time by arrangement. This enables a person with special needs to experience the beach at any time with family and friends all year round.
Online registration forms for both surfers and volunteers are available at disabledsurfers.org/vic/ocean-grove-branch/
