Hang 21 Surf Event: Making Waves for Inclusion

Hang 21 is our annual surfing event designed to empower individuals with Down syndrome. Participants take to the waves under the guidance of experienced surf instructors who provide personalized support and encouragement. The event is about more than just surfing—it’s about confidence, connection and community. Families bond on the beach, share laughter and cheer each other on in a joyful, inclusive environment.

Why Hang 21?

The event reflects our mission at the Greater Victoria Down Syndrome Society to celebrate ability, build community and foster meaningful connections. Whether it’s seeing a loved one ride their first wave or meeting other families who share similar experiences, Hang 21 creates life-changing moments that families will cherish forever.
