Disabled surfers back in the water

The surfing events cater to all abilities

Central Coast Disabled Surfers will kick off their 20th year at Umina Beach on Saturday, February 1.

The first Smiles on Dials event for 2025 needs large volunteer numbers to make the surfing experience safe and enjoyable for all.

Interested volunteers are asked to register online via Humanitix or via https://bit.ly/1Feb2025 prior to the event so organisers know how many surfers to accept.

Volunteers will also be accepted on the day.

They do not need to know how to surf although water skills are highly valued.

A water refill station and a rash shirt will be provided for the day, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own wetsuits.

A sausage sizzle will complete the festivities.

Volunteering at a Smiles on Dials event consists of helping participants to and from the beach, assisting them in and out of the water and helping set up and clean up.

Food is provided and smiles are always encouraged.

The Disabled Surfers Association is a volunteer-run organisation that enables people of all ages and abilities to take part in beach surfing!.

It was established in 1986 and currently has 19 branches across Australia and New Zealand.
