Sharing the love of surfing with persons of all abilities and opportunities.
We Surf Family Australia are committed to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where individuals from all backgrounds can enjoy the experience of riding waves and forming a profound connection with the ocean.
We Surf live for (& love!) surfing
We Surf’s philanthropic surfing initiatives are established by a dedicated group of surfers and seasoned coaches who share a deep passion for the sport. For more than ten years, they have been imparting their knowledge and fostering a love for surfing among children and teenagers in the local community of Northern Rivers, New South Wales. They wholeheartedly embrace the transformative power of surfing, as it can instil positive change and cultivate a nourishing mindset and way of life.
Changing young lives, one wave at a time
“I'd just like to extend my thanks to your charity for enabling us to get 20 of our vulnerable young people to engage in the surf program. Without exception all of those children that took part enjoyed themselves and I reckon we‘ve got a few that will become surfers for life. Surprisingly it was the older cohort of children that really thrived. It definitely bought out their inner child. All of those older children come from backgrounds of significant trauma and abuse so it was great therapy for them. We would be rapt to be part of any of your future programs. Again Thank you!” Gordon Barratt OAM — CEO Connect Kids
