SURFaddict– Portuguese Adaptive Surfing Association aims to make surfing accessible to people with any type of limitation, whether motor, visual, or cognitive.
However,SURFaddict'srole goes far beyond this purely sporting aspect.
We also have other objectives, such as :
Demystifying the issue of disability, helping to break down prejudices that still exist in relation to disabled people;
Motivate those people to get out of the house or institution and socialise, providing a different day for them and their families;
Mobilising people to volunteer;
To draw the attention of municipalities and society in general to the importance of accessibility.
