Folly Beach Adaptive Surf Project Brings Joy to Young Surfer Folly Beach, South Carolina – A recent event at Folly Beach highlighted the power of adaptive sports and the dedication of volunteers. Ez, a young boy, experienced the thrill of surfing for the first time thanks to the Adaptive Surf Project. The project provides opportunities for individuals with disabilities to participate in surfing. "It was the best beach day ever!" Ez's mother shared, emphasizing the patience and kindness shown by the volunteers. They ensured Ez felt safe and comfortable throughout the experience, adjusting to his needs and letting him dictate the pace. Ez initially only wanted "one more time" on the board, but his enthusiasm grew, leading to multiple sessions. A volunteer from the Adaptive Surf Project described the day as incredibly rewarding. "Seeing the joy on Ez's face and the pride in his mother's eyes made all the effort worthwhile. Our goal is to create inclusive opportunities and foster a sense of belonging for everyone." The story of Ez's surfing adventure is a testament to the transformative power of adaptive sports and community support. It's a reminder of the importance of providing inclusive opportunities for everyone to experience the joy of physical activity and the beauty of nature.
