“Inclusion is our driving force. I want the blind surfers who come to us to realize that it is possible to surf despite a disability,” says Claudy, President of See Surf.

The association plays a crucial role in opening the way to the waves for blind people, showing that surfing is a sport accessible to all, without distinction. It is an inclusive adventure that gives blind people the chance to experience the joys of board sports. The method developed by the association is based on a sensory and tactile approach. Participants learn to “read” the ocean through touch and sound, thanks to specific communication techniques with their guides.
