Surfing can be difficult for beginners, but for wheelchair users, getting to and from the beach can be even more challenging.
California Polytechnic State University and AmpSurf teamed up to create an all-terrain, beachgoing wheelchair to make surfing more accessible for people with disabilities.
âIt looks like a mini tank,â explained AmpSurf founder Dana Cummings, but itâs a mini tank helping out in a big way.
âEveryone wants their independence. It doesnât matter who you are. When youâre in a wheelchair, you lose some of that independence,â Cummings said.
