Listen up good folks!!

We're in an episode of THE SILVER BALL INNOVATIONS podcast! So chuffed.

Each episode features a different local project where cool things happen and good things grow. All of which have been supported by the Fletcher Jones Family Foundations. The factory shop doors may have closed long ago, but the big FJ's legacy still keeps our community vibrant and full of character.

Tune in and give it a listen yeeeow:

To some, surfing is a sport.
To others, it’s therapy.
In Warrnambool, Stoked Surf Therapy is offering free surf sessions to young people who might never have stepped onto a board , including those seeking connection and calm.

🎙️ Episode 4 of Silver Ball Social Innovations: Warrnambool is out now!
Discover how the waves are helping locals ride out life’s challenges and find a new kind of flow.

🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Oooooh yeah!

The magical waves of Palnth (Cape Bridgewater) are calling our names and we’re so ready to feel the sand on our feet, the salt water on our faces and immerse our self in sea country ✨ 🌊 🐚

We are super proud to be collaborating with both and .mara to deliver another indigenous surf program.

An expanded program with a wider age bracket of 12 - 25years!

Not only does this mob bring the best vibes - they sure do know how to surf and have a good time!

If you are interested in getting involved as a participant, reach out to or .mara

There are also opportunities, for indigenous community members and allies, to get involved as volunteers.

Get in touch for more info.

We are proud to work alongside our friends on this again.

The camaraderie, the courage, the connection, we built a crew of surf sisters and it was everything we dreamed of and more 💙

Too good in fact, not to do it all again ✨

From first pop-ups to wipeouts, laughing and cheering each other on. Pre-surf yarns where we’ll teach you about etiquette, forecasts and water safety and post-surf vibes with coffee & pastries 🥐 ☕️

This is the second program dedicated to levelling up the line up in our local surf scene. A push towards gender equality in surfing.

This is a FREE 6-week surf program for women and girls. We welcome and encourage applications from those who are transgender, non-binary & gender diverse 🏳️‍🌈

Applications open - find the link through our bio.

Huge shakas to for backing this one!! 🤙🏻 👍👍🏽👍🏿

Look. We’re not usually ones to toot our own trumpets, but something pretty special happened last month… 🎺

Our Palnth Indigenous program was lucky enough to taken home the Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion Award, honestly, we’re still Stoked! 🌊

There’s something hard to explain about the programs we run—there’s a kind of magic in the air, and if you’ve been part of it, you’ll know what we mean. So to have that feeling acknowledged with an award? That’s pretty unreal.

Massive shoutout to the South West Sports crew—thank you for the love. And to our team and community—you’re the heartbeat of this thing.
