Surfing for smiles Surfers Healing, a free surf camp on February 1 at Mount Main Beach, has a simple goal: to empower the lives of children living with autism, according to Tom Mason, pictured surfing with
youngster Dom Maxwell. Tom, along with fellow experienced Kiwi and American surfers will ride in tandem with the children at the Tauranga event, said the change in a child can be instant.
“Children, especially [those] with autism, all their senses are very in height, and so a lot is going on. Then, at the end of the surfing, they don’t want to get out of the water.” Surfers Healing has been
at Mount Maunganui since 2021 at the corners of Banks Ave and Marine Parade. Read more about this empowering and transformational movement on page 7. Photo: Blake Michaels
