Stand-up paddleboard event for Guide Dog clients
Volunteers from Ocean Beach and Umina Surf Life Saving Clubs were among those who helped Guide Dogs Australia run a stand-up paddleboard event for its clients at Ettalong Beach at the end of January.
The event was designed to provide an opportunity to socialise while enjoying some fun beach activities.
As well as stand up paddle-boarding, there was also SUP Yoga.
Activities included using running lines, experiencing a simulated water rescue, and a modified flags activity using sound localisation.
Sighted guide training was demonstrated as well as a vision goggle simulation to educate surf lifesaving volunteers and others about how best to help on the day.
