About Joanna Jones

Profile picture

i have been  a ‘wannabe surfer chick’  for a long time and really I love the healthy lifestyle that comes along with the sport.

I have always wanted to learn to surf but their was always something going on and unfortunately I just never got around to learning.

My husband is a keen surfer and we recently got back from the most amazing surfing trip and I have decided that it’s about time I learnt (or at least give it a go) so I can actually partake in the activity next time we go away. Equally, we are so blessed to have an amazing surf scene and beautiful beaches in Jersey and I have decided that 2023 is going to be my year.

The White Collar surfing competition seemed like the perfect opportunity to finally learn to surf, and to raise money for a wonderful charity at the same time, makes it even more worthwhile! 

It’s a lot harder than it looks but I’m determined to give it my absolute all.

All donations will be greatfully received. 

Thank you in advance

Jo

Healing Waves

Healing Waves is a charity based in Jersey Channel Islands. We enable individuals with physical, neurological & mental health challenges to access the ocean in a safe way, to participate in surf, paddle and flowrider sessions.

We offer Ocean Therapy through guided surf, paddle and flow sessions. These water sports are used as a vessel, helping our athletes to gain more self-confidence and communication skills, whilst providing therapy and respite for all.  Water sports can stimulate the ‘stoke’ like feeling and can promote a sense of accomplishment and empowerment in our Athletes, whilst families, friends and carers cheer them on from the side lines.  We encourage loved ones and carers to participate in sessions, helping to strengthen the (often strained) bonds which are vital for healthy relationships.
