On 4th and 5th July 2024 para and adaptive surfers from across the world will be coming to The Wave to take part in the 2024 English Para Surfing Open.
For 2024 there will be 9 ISA Surfing divisions, as well as 3 Open divisions. These open divisions are only for surfers who are UK based and do not have a classification, aiming to offer an experience of competition to emerging para surfers.
This is a fantastic event bringing communities together for a brilliant day of competitive surfing. Come along and soak up the atmosphere, it’s free to spectate and you’re guaranteed a fantastic day. On Thursday evening enjoy an evening of entertainment brought to you by Surfing England’s Adaptive crew who will be raising money for their world games later this year.
Schedule:
Thursday: 3pm – 6pm and evening entertainment
Friday: 10am – 2pm with presentations to follow shortly after
Surfing England is still looking for volunteers to help run this event, with applications closing on Monday 24th June.
The Wave are committed to supporting adaptive surfing, striving to make the joy of surfing, water and waves more accessible to more people. We have a team of trained coaches and support staff who can make surfing accessible for all. If you need additional support to access surfing, let us know and find a way to support you.
