PARA-SURF CLUB

Para surfing is a competitive sport designed for individuals with disabilities. Our club is led by Nick Jones a Team England Para Coach and meets monthly for training sessions and skill development. The goal of the club is to help our surfers develop their skills and prepare athletes to compete.

We go each year with a group to English Para Surfing National Championships, hosted by Surfing England. Para surfing is governed by a classification system established by the International Surfing Association (ISA) and overseen by certified ISA classifiers. Athletes are placed into specific divisions based on their physical impairments, with the aim of creating a level playing field and minimizing the impact of disability on competitive performance. In addition to the classified divisions, there is also an Open category available for individuals with a disability who have not yet received official classification.
