The Issue
Share your voice to support PARA SURFING inclusion into LA28 Paralympics.
Please sign this petition to ask LA28 to reconsider its decision of NOT hosting Paralympic Surfing Debut at LA28 games due to cost & complexity!! Para Surfing has met both approval of IPC & ISA qualifications for Los Angeles Games. Athletes from 28 nations globally consisting of 480+ international classified Para Surf athletes. Surfing is the state sport of California, so let’s represent surf together!! Adaptive surfers view this as a beautiful moment for LA28 to support inclusion for Paralympic Surfers w/ Olympic Surfers in equal sport location. The decision was made to NOT Host Paralympic Surf Debut in LA2028 by the host city due to financial complexity / difficulty in location.
Within the heart & spirit of all Paralympic Athletes we love to accept the challenges to adapt in all ways to overcome! We are looking for your support to show that united together the para surf community can find ways to overcome anything!!
I am asking you to sign this petition in hopes to plea to LA28 for Para Surfing to get a chance as a Paralympic Sport.
We athletes found out this June that a decision had been made to not include Para Surfing in the LA28 Olympics. Please share this petition with friends & family to help Para Surfing be at Trestles or Huntington Pier for its opening debut. - Together as surfers we are all alike & surf the same waves!! Please allow this Adaptive Paralympic Surfing Dream to become a reality with the able bodied Olympic surfers venue TBD - Lower Tresles or at Huntington Pier for the LA28 Olympic Games. We welcome the opportunity to surf the same location on a Olympic Platform in the spirit of equality!!
Para Surfers include 4 types of surfing for surfers with different disabilities!!
Each type of board riding is unique & totally different in classification!!
Standing - Kneeling - Sit/Waveski - Prone!!
• Please sign and share to help Para Surfing reach the LA28 Paralympic Games.
