Healing Waves - Ocean Therapy: Five things we would change about Jersey

Friday 01 September 2017


The team behind a brand new surfing charity which helps individuals get in the water, regardless of their age, disabilities or conditions will be making waves at their launch this weekend.

Before surf's up for the Healing Waves team, they told Express all about what they would change about Jersey - now, isn't that swell?

1. Here's a brain wave...

Even though Jersey boasts some of the cleanest and prettiest beaches in the British Isles, it would be nice to have consistent swell.

If we had waves every day of the year, we could get more time in delivering Healing Waves (and the climate to go with it!).

2. More accessibility: Jersey's for everyone! 

Jersey has so many great things to do outdoors such as the cliff path walks, the sand dunes or exploring the caves at Plémont. So many of our natural outdoor activities are limited to people purely because of accessibility issues.

It would be fantastic to see some of the States' money being put in to purchasing off-road wheelchairs, ramps and safety railings so everyone can get involved - we've got the surfing covered!

3. Give it up for the people who live here

We'd like to see a greater awareness and celebration of the many talented and unique people that live here.

Too many special characters with incredible potential miss out on opportunities or are simply overlooked.

4. Smoke-free streets

There's nothing worse than a face full of dirty smoke when you're walking through town!

5. Did we mention the waves...?
