The Wave Project has announced the launch of its first adaptive surfing hub in Cornwall.
The surf therapy charity, which has its headquarters in Newquay, began offering surf lessons for people with disabilities in 2012 when it pioneered a surfing course for people with learning disabilities and Down’s syndrome in partnership with Cornwall Council.
Adaptive surfing (also referred to as para surfing) runs parallel to typical surfing. With modifications to the equipment, the environment and the support team, people with disabilities can participate in surfing with greater independence, comfort and confidence.
