ACCESSIBLE SURFING IN LONG BEACH NY

SURFS UP DUDE, THE CITY OF LONG BEACH PROVIDES SURFING LESSONS FOR SUFFERS WITH ALL ABILITIES

By: Derek Varsalona


Surf's up dude.  Now surfers with special needs have a safe and effective way to learn how to surf with trained professional surfing instructors in Long Beach, NY.  The name of the organization is Surfer's Way and they are calling on all child surfers with special needs to come learn how to surf with lessons or if an experienced surfer with special needs wants to perfect their skills.

The Surfing instructions will be given for two days: one on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, and one on Tuesday, August 13, 2024.   Surfers are asked to register online at Sufersway@Gmail.com. Information that needs to be included in the registration is the name of the participant, the parent or guardian emergency contact number and name, and the outing date preferred.  An email confirmation will be sent to the registered user with further information.


The program is supposed to help surfers with special needs feel a sense of accomplishment.  The program hopes to give every surfer a sense of freedom in accordance with their unique abilities.

Surfers wAy is a 501 C3 nonprofit organization.  It relies entirely on donations to survive and all of the surfing trainers are volunteers. All of your tax-deductible fee is provided so your child or loved one with special needs can enjoy their surfing outing. The tax-deductible donation is made to make sure that no surfer with special needs is turned down from this magical experience. 

There are two types of crews the sand crew and the water crew.  The sand provides structures on the beach.  The water crew consists of trained surfers who go in the water with the surfer to teach them how to surf and hang 10.   All surf instructors will have to submit to a specialized orientation conducted by Master Surf Instructor Elliot Zuckerman.  To contact LBNY Surfers Way please go to   As always comments accepted.
