Hear from some of our rural surfers on what they thought about Surfing for Farmers
“Surfing for Farmers offers an awesome opportunity to get amongst it, challenge yourself, learn a new skill, great comraderie, all off farm at a stunning NZ beach near you - what is there not to love about this.”
— Amanda Cave Ngatapa - Gisborne
Why our volunteer coordinators have joined the Surfing for Farmers team
“Because I strongly believe it makes a difference to farmers mindsets & if I help even one person to speak up, seek help or make a change that helps their mental (& physical) wellbeing - I’m good with that!.”
“Working in the ag industry and especially with our sales force, I have heard a lot about the issues facing farmers and the high suicide rates. So it's great to be able to do something I love that gives farmers a real reason to get off the farm and take away the focus from the pressures on farm.”
“It’s a great initiative that I think can make a real difference to farmers wellbeing. Enables me to give back to my community..”
“I have a passion for both surfing and farming. I can see that the potential benefits to farmers are huge. Its a stressful job which can become all-consuming. Surfing is one of the best avenues for stress relief I have in my life and I want to help others in my industry reap the same benefits.”
