The KiwiSport Regional Partnership Fund continues to help create meaningful sporting experiences and physical activity opportunities for children across the Canterbury West Coast region.

‘Salty Surf Girls’ Have a Go sessions engaged hundreds of young women from across the Canterbury region over the summer months. Donna Henderson of the Stoked Foundation said the sessions were a chance to offer children who don't have the opportunity to visit the beach, "a chance to give surfing a go, put a wetsuit on and just have a great day out there."

Participants were provided with surfing equipment and lessons on the sand before heading out to the water with trained instructors. They were also taught critical water safety skills, promoting water confidence.
