One of Ocean Grove’s most loved events is back this year.
Disabled Surfers Association (DSA) of Australia Ocean Grove branch is gearing up to get some smiles on dials and into the surf.
The Ocean Grove DSA branch was founded in 2008 with the first official events taking place in the summer of 2009.
DSA’s goal is to provide an inclusive experience for all people with any disability to experience the rush of riding a wave.
With world-class beach facilities at Ocean Grove the experience includes special needs changing/amenities, wheelchair ramp access from the car park all the way to the sand and
specialised beach wheelchairs to suit adults and children.
DSA Ocean Grove is looking for volunteers to assist in and out of the water to ensure the smooth and safe running of the event.
“We are so excited to be holding our events again,” committee president Jeremy Swift said.
“The days are so special to us all and such a good feeling being able to help others enjoy surfing and catch a few waves.
“Putting Smiles on Dials is what we are all about and we need as many people as possible to help make our events happen.”
Upcoming events are at Ocean Grove main beach on Sunday February 5 and Sunday March 5.
