Community group to volunteer for disabled surfers
Umina Community Group members will volunteer at a Surfing for the Disabled event to be held at Umina Beach on Saturday, February 1.
The group helped at the December event, where 180 volunteers helped 61 surfers.
The February event will mark the start of the surfing association's 20th year of operation on the Coast.
"We need large volunteer numbers to make our surfing experience safe and enjoyable," said association president Ms Rae Fiechter.
"Volunteers do not need to know how to surf although water skills are highly valued.
"A water refill station and a rash shirt will be provided for the day, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own wetsuits.
"A sausage sizzle will complete the festivities."
"Interested volunteers are asked to register online via https://bit.ly/1Feb2025 prior to the event so we know how many surfers we can accept.
"Volunteers will also be accepted on the day."
