Surfers Helping Children with Autism

Clair Arnold, 10, rode the long, slow wave into Tourmaline Beach and waved to family and friends cheering on the sand. She had stood up; she may appear on TV news; and she had spent the whole day boogie boarding with her sister. Clair had had a good day. Clair was one of around 50 children with autism who spent a recent afternoon surfing at Tourmaline Surf Park as part of the annual Surfers Healing event.
