First ever Adaptive Surfing Championships held in England!
Saturday was a big day for surfing in England. Rather than try and put it into words myself, here is a summary by Spike Kane (adaptive athlete and awesome guy):
They will speak of this day in the folklore of that small island nation. On cold winters nights, huddled around the crackling fires of public houses throughout the land. They will speak of How they came, broken and battered, from far and wide to chisel the words .
"The First Ever English Adaptive Championships, September 16 2017"
in the bedrock, the very foundation, of that hostile coast.
They will speak of how the elements conspired to stop them, how the angry ocean attempted to swallow that stubborn smiling group of warriors whole. Of the comradeship, stoke and fight that will forever be etched in the surfing history of that nation. Yes, they will speak of that day!!
Hahahaha, BEST worst day of surfing I have ever had with the champions, advocates and warriors of our sport. So blessed to be a small part of the changing tide. MASSIVE shout out to Nick Rees, Surfing England, The Wave, Nick Hounsfield and every single person that was on the beach that historic day. Game changer!
