This September, the 3rd Annual US Open Adaptive Surfing Championships is back at the Oceanside pier in beautiful Southern California. Hosted by the Stoke for Life Foundation and powered by the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, this event attracts competitive adaptive surfers from all over the globe. In 2018, 74 surfers from 12 countries came to shred the waves for a chance to win medals in their division and cash prizes. In total, just over $19,000 was awarded last year, with this year slated to give out even more cash. Access Trax is a proud sponsor, and has been involved since the beginning in 2017.

The US Open was created by adaptive surfers, for adaptive surfers, and takes pride in creating a professional event that will keep you coming back year after year. Enjoy the atmosphere, the camaraderie, and the fun. Even if you aren’t competing or connected in any way, this event is fantastic to come see. You can also sign up to volunteer so be sure to check out the event website.
