January 2017, the Surf for Life Project held a Weet-Bix SurfGroms lesson for thirty two kids affiliated with
Kalwun Health Services at Greenmount Beach on the Gold Coast.
“Surfing today made me feel very happy with all the waves and water,” said young participant Ty Reece.
On a wonderful day with plenty of sunshine and fun waves
the group surfed with the assistance of Weet- Bix SurfGroms
affiliated surf school, Walkin’ On Water staff for over an hour
in crystal clear gentle learning conditions.
“The Surf for Life Program allows people the opportunity
to come down the beach, get in the outdoors. To be able
to share my passion of surfing with the Surf for Life crew, it’s
just one of the greatest things,” said Walkin’ On Water coach
Dan Butler.
More than 5000 children have already participated in Surf
for Life Project programs with the aim to have raised $100,000
by the end of 2017.
Dan Husband from Kalwun Health Service said “It’s getting

bigger every year and it gives kids that don’t have transport
or funds to participate in activities like this a chance to
have a go.”
Surfing Australia wants to continue this fantastic initiative
into 2017, but to do so we need your help!
By donating today and helping to raise enough funds to
put more underprivileged Aussie kids through the Surf for
Life program this year, you will be helping to change their
lives for the better.
Kalwun Health Services aims to ensure strong awareness of
cultural heritage and that the whole community has a level
of respect and an appreciation of the Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander history.
