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.** ![surfer holding boy with legs crossed on surfboard](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/hubfs/we%20surf-2.png) ## WE SURF ### ![](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/hs-fs/hubfs/we%20surf.png?width=36&name=we%20surf.png)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. ### ![](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/hs-fs/hubfs/we%20surf.png?width=36&name=we%20surf.png)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. ### ![](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/hs-fs/hubfs/we%20surf.png?width=36&name=we%20surf.png)Adaptive Surf Competition Info Competitive adaptive surfing is growing at the local, national, and international levels.

We typically have a monthly ride with bikes of all types: trikes, side-by-side quad cycles, hand-cycles, regular bikes, and even bikes a wheelchair can fit on the front of! ![adaptive surfer on seated board with group of volunteers giving thumps up](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/hubfs/we%20share%20the%20stoke-2-1.png) ![two guys in beach wheelchairs and one girl smiling](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/hubfs/we%20nourish%20our%20communities-2.png) ## WE NOURISH OUR COMMUNITY ### ![](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/hs-fs/hubfs/we%20nourish%20our%20communities.png?width=36&name=we%20nourish%20our%20communities.png)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. ### ![](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/hs-fs/hubfs/we%20nourish%20our%20communities.png?width=36&name=we%20nourish%20our%20communities.png)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. ### ![](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/hs-fs/hubfs/we%20nourish%20our%20communities.png?width=36&name=we%20nourish%20our%20communities.png)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. ## Together, we're gonna do BIG THINGS   ## GET INVOLVED ![1](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/hs-fs/hubfs/participate.png?width=100&height=100&name=participate.png) #### PARTICIPATE Sign up for an upcoming activity [Sign Up](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/events?hsLang=en) ![2](https://adaptivesurfproject.com/hs-fs/hubfs/volunteer.png?width=100&height=100&name=volunteer.png) #### VOLUNTEER Have time, skills, or gumption?
