SUPPORT & JOIN
We provide an opportunity for people on the Autism spectrum to build confidence through surfing.
Since 2016, Ocean Heroes has shared the thrill and wonder of surfing with over nine thousand members of the autism community around Australia, enabling them to build self-confidence in a safe, supportive and fun environment. One of Australia's most amazing resources is our beautiful beaches, and we believe everyone should be able to enjoy it!
Our Events Are Fully Equipped
We provide wetsuits, surfboards, life jackets, experienced surfers and good vibes. Join us for a fun time in the sun. We are a volunteer-run organisation, so if you'd like to volunteer please get in touch as we can always use a hand (even if you can't surf)!
Ocean Vibes
Our instructors bring years of experience and a passion for surfing with every session. We want every child to have the opportunity to experience the ocean, surfing their first wave in a supported and social environment.
Skilled Instructors
Learning to swim and being confident in the water is a valuable skill for anyone, and our beaches are some of the best in the world – why not make the most of them!
Build Confidence
Surfing builds confidence, physical strength, and ocean awareness, connecting their inner ability and the world around them in a fun and inclusive environment!
