Volunteers to put smiles on dials at DSA Ocean Grove meet

CLOSE to 200 volunteers are expected to put smiles on dials at today’s (March 2) Disabled Surfing Association meet at Ocean Grove.

The event will see 90 surfers with varying disabilities take to the water with the aid of volunteers.

Volunteers will assist surfers with getting into the water, riding the waves, and forming the corridor of love for them to ride through.

Helpers will also be sought to deliver food to surfers and volunteers, as well as assist with check in on the day.

DSA national secretary Phil Christie said everything was in place for a fantastic day at the beach.

“We are looking forward to a big day.

“Volunteer-wise we are just off 200, so a few more would be fantastic. We are on our peak with surfer numbers.

“There are a whole range of things they can do in the water and out of it. There’s always something to do.”
