Welcome
Welcome to the Central Coast branch of the Disabled Surfers Association of Australia. Established in 2005, our mantra is “Putting Smiles on Dials”
A trip to the beach is a quintessential Aussie experience. Providing a safe and enjoyable opportunity for people with a disability to do so is made possible by our awesome trained volunteers. We cater for all disabilities and age is no barrier.
Our “Smiles on Dials” days are held at Umina Beach and Toowoon Bay with the full support of the surf clubs.
We need volunteers in and out of the water so if you feel you would like to be a part of this amazing experience, please contact our committee members.
Check out the below video from our recent event at Toowoon Bay:
Donate now for us to be able to renew our equipment:
As a fully volunteer run organisation, all donations go toward providing a safe and happy experiance for our participants and volunteers by ensuring the best possible equipment, the upkeep of our trailer and provisions for four events per season at Umina Beach and Toowoon Bay. Our volunteers supervised by Team Leaders and Beach Marshalls love what they do and will show up rain or shine to ensure our surfers have a great day. Without any funding except for the occasional grant, donations allow us to continue providing this invaluable experience.
