Mobility Clinic on the Waves


There's nothing quite like the feeling of catching a wave! 

Össur Mobility Clinic on the Waves gives people with limb loss or limb difference the chance to experience the fun and freedom of surfing in a safe and supportive setting. 

Led by Australian Surfing Champion Jade 'Red' Wheatley and a team of skilled surf instructors, this one day clinic helps participants learn to surf, build their skills and feel more at ease in the water. 

From learning how to paddle and balance on a board to catching your first wave, each session is tailored to suit different skills and needs. Whether you're new to surfing or keen to get back in the ocean, there's something for everyone. 

In 2027, we're heading back to Newcastle and making waves on the Gold Coast! We're excited to bring our epic one day surf clinic back to the Gold Coast, giving more people the chance to get involved. 

Come along, enjoy the ocean and share a great day with our surfing community!
