On Saturday, November 18, a beautiful (and free) experience is landing at Bondi Beach.
Ocean Heroes – a WA-based charity – is bringing a day of free guided surf lessons for autistic kids to Sydney, and it looks absolutely delightful. Coming back for the third time this year, this lovely day out is all about creating community connections in a safe and happy space.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Bondi Beach, this event has the capacity to take up to 50 people on the autism spectrum surfing for free, with each person given a 30-minute slot between 8.30am and 1pm.
Ocean Heroes will provide life jackets, surfboards, wetsuits, sunscreen and surf instructors, meaning that all you need to bring along is swimmers, a hat, towel, water bottle and a fresh change of clothes.
Everything will be going down at North Bondi Beach in front of the Surf Life Saving Club, and you can select your preferred time slot when you register for the event, which you can do by clicking right here.
Keen to get involved? Ocean Heros are always looking for amazing volunteers. No surfing experience is required, and you’ll lend a hand by doing regos on the sand, helping the kids into wetsuits, and handing out certificates and high fives. You can head out into the waves if you know how to surf, too. You can register to be a volunteer here.
So, if you want to meet other families in the Sydney autism community, have a fabulous time, and get outside and in the water, think about signing up.
It looks pretty good.
