Sea Vista children learning to surf received a welcome boost this week. The Rotary Club of St Francis handed over donated surf gear at Main Beach in St Francis Bay.
The collection included more than 40 surfboards and wetsuits, generously donated by members of the community. Donors also contributed pre-loved bodyboards to support the children’s surf school.
Community Donations Support Young Surfers
The surf school is organised by the Wave Point Foundation in collaboration with the 9 Miles Project. It gives children from Sea Vista an opportunity to learn to surf and enjoy the ocean.
The children range in age from seven to 16. For many, access to equipment would otherwise limit their opportunity to take part.
However, the community’s response has helped put more equipment into the hands of these young surfers. A pre-loved board or wetsuit can still have plenty of useful life. Through this collection, that gear will now support children beginning their own surfing journey.
A Happy Handover At Main Beach
Rotary members met the surf school at Main Beach this week to hand over the donations. The children’s smiles reflected their excitement as they received the equipment.
The handover brought together the generosity of local donors and the work of the organisations running the surf school. Together, their contributions are helping more children experience the enjoyment of surfing.
Thanks To Donors And Collection Points
The Rotary Club extended heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated surfboards, wetsuits and bodyboards.
It also thanked Pam Golding, Seal Point Estates and the River Club for serving as collection points. Their support helped bring the donations together for the handover to the Sea Vista surf school.
