SURFING WITH SPINAL CORD INJURIES

Imagine surfing without the use of your arms or legs. Some people who are confined to a wheelchair would never think surfing could be possible. Well now those with spinal cord injuries will get a chance to push the boundaries and surf in Jacksonville Beach Saturday with the help of local volunteers. I will be on site in the water coaching participants and Channel 12 will be on location in the morning for a live shot. The, They Will Surf Again, event takes place behind the lifeguard house on JAX Beach from 9-2 pm Saturday May 16th. This is a wonderful event that is put on by Life Rolls On. They help people with spinal cord injuries surf, golf, and live life to its fullest with adaptive sports.
If you are physically challenged but want to water ski, golf, surf, play tennis, or try many other sports, you can contact Brooks Adaptive Sports Program right here in Jacksonville.
