Visually Impaired Surf School Clinic

Fifteen blind and visually impaired children and teenagers between the ages of 8 and 19 were given surfing lessons yesterday in Scheveningen, the beautiful beach resort for The Hague.

Dutch and American professional instructors first gave them specific safety lessons and instructions, then accompanied them out to sea.

This is only the second time that a surfing clinic for the visually impaired has been held in Scheveningen but we hope it continues. Everybody should be free to, and have the right to, enjoy the beach life. It's one of the great experiences of being human!
