Скачать или смотреть The disabled ride the waves - Season 13 Episode 5

For a differently abled person to catch a wave and ride it into shore is a life changing experience. And this is exactly what these surfers are doing on Muizenberg beach (Cape Town) on weekends! Watch how volunteers from the Roxy Davies Foundation assist people with disabilities with access to the beach, get into the water and then on a surfboard!

Despite a greater risk of drowning and vulnerability against shark attacks, the para-surfers tell of how adaptive surfing, and surfing therapy impact their mental and physical wellbeing – in and out of the water. Like all athletes they are fiercely competitive, and two of the participants represented South Africa at the World Para-Surfing championships held in California in December 2022.
