Duke Kahanamoku said, "Surfing is the greatest thrill of my life."

And we agree.

It's a dance with the ocean, in that sweet spot between control and surrender, and everyone deserves the chance to experience it.

Living with a disability shouldn't disqualify you from that chance.

At Adaptive Surf Project, we know that with enough teamwork and imagination nothing is impossible. So we've come together to radically reimagine who has access to the joy of surfing.

So whether we're designing specialty surfboards, installing beach matting, or training adaptive surf teams, the goal is the same:

To help more friends experience the thrill of walking on water.

Wheel to Surf

Our very own Brock Johnson create the event "Wheel to Surf" in 2013. Our flagship event is a surf clinic for individuals who happen to have a disability. It's an opportunity for anyone to experience the joy of surfing.

Normalize Adaptive Surfing

On most summer Sundays, you'll find us catching some waves at Cherry Grove Pier. Come join us for a casual beach day! One day it will be normal to see adaptive surfers at every surf break in the world.

Adaptive Competition

Team ASP is our team of athletes who surf competitively, at the local, national, and international levels. Reach out for more info.

Adaptive Outreach

We want adaptive surfing to grow worldwide. So we travel nationally and internationally to train and equip interested groups to host their own adaptive surfing events. Learn more.

Adaptive Equipment

We're designing and creating the adaptive equipment that makes adaptive surfing possible: adaptive surfboards, adaptive wetsuits and different styles of beach wheelchairs.

Coastal Adaptive Sports

Many of us serve on the board for Coastal Adaptive Sports and all of us volunteer and help with their projects - including the Adaptive Bike Project (led by our own Luke Sharp) and the Coastal Chairmen wheelchair basketball team.

Accessible Beaches

Beaches should be for everyone. Beach wheelchairs can be hard to find and difficult to travel with. We're on a mission to put a beach wheelchair at every public pier on the east coast - so that when you see a pier, you know there's a chair. Besides this, let's put beach matting all the way to the high tide line at public beach accesses and ramps where needed.

Healthy Beaches

The beach is our home and we want to take care of it. We do beach cleanup days and we support other local efforts to keep our beaches and ocean healthy.

Inclusive Community

All the fun stuff in our communities should be open for all whether it's concerts, bars, restaurants, open mics, bowling or whatever we do for enjoyment. Let's leave no one out of the fun.
