Today Bass Coast DSA had our annual general meeting. We went over the volunteer and participant feedback for the 2025 events and how we can continue improving, we wrote lists for equipment and shelter improvements that we need for next season, and we re-elected the official positions within our committee and welcomed some new members.
Overall we on the committee are honored to be able to work alongside so many fantastic disability and all abilities surfers, their carers, family members, and of course the amazing volunteers & sponsors that make our events possible. Thank you all ❤️

Planning for next year’s events and DSA Bass Coast’s 10 year anniversary is well underway and we can’t wait!! Tell your friends & family! It’s going to be an awesome 2026!!

In 2023 and 2024 held a charity golf day that incredibly raised 17 thousand in the 1st year and 18 thousand in the second for the events. (Check out their vid of the day)

This crucial funding helped us purchase new equipment to help more participants have a surf, maintain our existing equipment, Purchase rash-vests, acquire more wheelchair enabling beach mats, and also purchase the food and bits and pieces needed to run each event enabling us to keep the events completely free for all attendees.

So a huge thank you to you all at ❤️❤️❤️
