Registrations Open for Disability Surf Day in Wellington

Registrations are now open for the Flight Centre Foundation Halberg Surf Day taking place on Saturday 12 March at Lyall Bay, Wellington for physically disabled New Zealanders to try surfing.

The day is hosted by the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation, as part of the Flight Centre Foundation Halberg Water Sports Programmewhich gives physically disabled New Zealanders the opportunity to enjoy a range of water sports at a series of events around the country this summer.

The Wellington day will take place from 10.00am – 2.00pm at Lyall Bay Beach, Lyall Bay, Wellington.

The Halberg Disability Sport Foundation is working in partnership with the Lyall Bay Surf Life Saving Club, Tokerau Beachboys, Red Paddle Co and Real Surf Lyall Bay to deliver the day.

Volunteers from those organisations, Flight Centre staff and local community members will all receive ‘Halberg No Exceptions Training’ from the Foundation. The training will give them the skills and confidence to support the participants at the event.

On the day the Flight Centre Foundation will also donate modified equipment to a local group to ensure they can continue to offer support and events for physically disabled Kiwis interested in water sports.

To register as a participant or volunteer for the Flight Centre Foundation Halberg Surf Day on Saturday 12 March, contact Halberg Disability Sport Adviser Erin Fitzgerald on erin@halberg.co.nz or 021 550 943. For more information go to www.halbergallsports.co.nz.
