On Saturday, August 18, 2018, the Vision Experience Foundation will again
present an opportunity for people who are blind and vision impaired to
experience surfing at the Long Branch waterfront.


Registration is open to those who are Blind, Legally Blind, and those
diagnosed with severe vision impairment.


​This will be an awesome day that will provide each participant to have a
surfing experience. Feel the wind and ocean spray on your face, hear
the beach and ocean sounds, taste the salt in the air and burn in your
mind’s eye the excitement of riding the waves on a surf board. You will be
instructed and have someone with you at all times to assist you as you
experience the thrill of a lifetime.


All that is needed is you and your bathing suit. Expert surfers, water
certified safety people as well as lifeguards will be on hand. Life jackets
and surfboards will be provided. Registration is limited to 100 surfers so
apply today.
