SPI Sessions Watersports is dedicated to helping enable experiences like surfing for youth with disabilities and their families. By coordinating events such as these, we are able to help advocate surfing for all abilities and increase awareness within the community for other activities we may afford them to improve their quality of life.

In 2018, SPI Sessions produced its first year of Special Needs Surfing Clinics. The events were so well received we accomplished 4 Special Needs Surfing Clinics within the year. In 2019, our surfing clinic catered to over 120 special needs children and hosted more than 400 people on the beach at Clayton’s Beach Bar. With multiple sponsors, and generous contributions, we proudly introduced the sport and joy of surfing to over one hundred families. In 2020, with the Covid-19 pandemic rise, we were unable to offer these services. 2023 is the year to revive this amazing opportunity.

Surfing offers a host of remarkable benefits for people with special needs, enhancing their physical, emotional, and social well-being. On a physical level, surfing engages various muscle groups, improving balance, coordination, and overall strength. The sensory experience of the ocean, with its soothing waves and invigorating water, can be profoundly therapeutic for individuals with sensory processing differences, promoting sensory integration and relaxation. Beyond the physical advantages, riding waves fosters a sense of accomplishment and empowerment, boosting self-confidence and self-esteem. In the water, individuals with special needs often experience a sense of freedom and liberation, breaking down barriers and challenging preconceptions. Additionally, the social aspect of surfing clinics creates an inclusive and supportive community, where participants can build meaningful connections, learn teamwork, and share joyous moments with peers and dedicated instructors. Overall, surfing opens a world of possibilities for people with special needs, offering a transformative and uplifting experience that transcends limitations and empowers them to embrace life with newfound confidence and enthusiasm.

Supporting special needs surfing clinics is an act of compassion and inclusivity that can make a profound impact on the lives of individuals with diverse abilities. By contributing time, resources, or donations to these clinics, we help create opportunities for children and adults with special needs to experience the joy and empowerment of surfing. These clinics offer therapeutic benefits, promoting physical fitness, sensory integration, and emotional well-being. Moreover, they foster a sense of community, where participants build lasting friendships and feel a sense of belonging. Supporting special needs surfing clinics not only allows these individuals to conquer challenges and break down barriers but also encourages society to embrace diversity and celebrate the unique abilities of every person. Together, we can create a more inclusive world where everyone can experience the thrill of riding the waves and discover the transformative power of the ocean. Please consider making a donation here.
