Hey,I’m Chicken, one of the co-founders of NOMB Changes, and I firmly believe that surfing is something everyone can do and enjoy.
The inclusive Surf day 2024 at Badi Köniz, organized in cooperation with the Reformed Church Köniz, was a big success. Numerous children and families gathered in bright sunshine to experience an afternoon full of fun and adventure. In our second edition we had even more people signing up than last year.
The aim was to give all participants, regardless of their physical or mental abilities, the opportunity to get to know surfing and discover the joy of water sports.
Our enthusiastic team was full of anticipation and ensured that every child received the support they needed. From the first contact with the surfboard to balancing exercises in a balance area and the first waves on the water – the enthusiasm of the participants could be felt. The cheers, squeals and laughter were unmistakable throughout the pool area. We imagined that the biggest waves in the world were being surfed.
It was particularly pleasing to see how all our surfers, regardless of their individual abilities, took up the challenge and bravely ventured onto the surfboard.
An inclusive surf day for everyone
Thanks to the professional instruction and sensitive supervision, even the youngest participants and those who were standing on a surfboard for the first time, were able to celebrate success.
The inclusive nature of the surf day ensured that no one was excluded – on the contrary: it was a day on which everyone had the opportunity to try surfing.
The cooperation with the Reformed Church Köniz also contributed significantly to the success of the day. Their support not only created the organizational framework, but also a space in which values such as cohesion, acceptance and the joy of togetherness were lived.
The surf day at Badi Köniz was more than just a day event – I believe it was an experience that all participants, young and old, will remember. Definitely for us at NOMB Changes!
This day proved once again that inclusion is not just a goal, but a living reality that creates joy, cohesion and positive energy.
If you, too, believe in the positive impact of surfing, consider becoming a NOMB Changer yourself or donat to help us create unforgettable waves.
