Six Development ParaSurfers going to Nationals

Published: July 21, 2022, 1:10 p.m.

In April, six young people between the age of 14-16 years, from disadvantaged communities in Cape Town competed in the Western Cape Para Surf Championships and earned an entry to compete at the South African Para Surfing Championships in Durban, which takes place from 29-31 July 2022.

The Roxy Davis Foundation is an NPO/PBO volunteer community-based program offering adaptive surfing and surf therapy, and they're assisting these kids to raise the necessary funding required to get to Durban. According to the foundation, these kids already broken so many and have only surfed ten times. This opportunity will shape their futures if they can experience this opportunity. The six young surfers need a total of R150 000 for the trip.

● Assisted airport transfers, air travel and extra baggage R60k

● Subsistence R20k

● Ability friendly accommodation R45k

● Adapted surfboards, wetsuits, lifejackets R15k

● Medical support R10k
