We try to get everyone out on the water😍 Adaptive Freedom Foundation: A foundation for inclusion through adaptive water sports and recreation.     Vision statement: Adaptive Freedom Foundation Puts Smiles on Faces and Hope in Hearts. We  provide life changing experiences to both individuals with disabilities and their family and friends through therapeutic water sports and recreation. We help foster confidence and self esteem by smashing self-limiting beliefs! If we can float a wheelchair on the water then our only limitation is our imagination!   Mission Statement: Adaptive Freedom Foundation a 501(c)3 nonprofit,  believes sports in general raise our quality of life. Sports build confidence, improve our physical fitness, and emotional well being. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to participate. AFF has built WASUP™  (Wheelchair Adapted Stand Up Paddle) Boards to use as a tool to includes the portion of our society that been limited by, beliefs and lack of adaptive equipment, into a healthy lifestyle. These boards secure a wheelchair onto a stand up paddle board and allow everyone the opportunity to get out on the water and enjoy. What was previously thought impossible is now possible, stand up paddling in a wheelchair. AFF partners with other foundations to share the gift of WASUP and the healing powers of the water. We are stronger together! We regularly host “Paddle Days” to introduce our WASUP boards and get people out on the water. Through WASUP Boards we see adapted paddle boarding becoming something accessible to everyone. We are working to build teams to compete in SUP races and spread awareness of the sport. We will start chapters which will duplicate what we have done in Southern California and Hawaii to multiply the lasting effects of WASUP and adaptive sports  with the community locally, nationally and internationally. Through donations, corporate partner's, corporate sponsors and our volunteers we are able to offer this opportunity free of charge. We are helping one person at a time, change their lives and  amazingly paddle through doors that they may have felt were previously closed to them!
