Adaptive Surf Project | Reimagine access to the joy of surfing!

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.

Outreach trips

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.

A chair at every pier

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.

Knowledge base

We've learned a lot over the years and we want to share that knowledge to inspire and nurture more inclusive communities to improve lives through adaptive surfing.

Beach access

You can't enjoy what you can't access. We work to ensure our beaches are accessible to all by making beach wheelchairs, ramps, and matting available on as many local beaches as possible.

Beach health

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.

Loco for locals!

A strong network of local partners is vital to a thriving community. We love frequenting local businesses, using local vendors, and supporting our friends at other adaptive sports organizations in the area.
