To wrap up 2022, the Surfrider South Coast team are joining the incredible volunteers from the Disabled Surfers Association South Coast at Thirroul Beach on Saturday, December 3 at 9am.

We are asking all of our readers and ocean-loving community to come and give a hand to share the stoke, and surf with people of all abilities. We need your help to make this day great for those who don’t normally get into the surf.
