If anyone can donate to this cause it would be greatly appreciated. My friend was paralyzed from surfing in 1999. He is in severe need of a new/used wheelchair van. They are very expensive so all we can hope is to get this donation page out there to as many people as possible. If you can't donate please share the link on social media. The only way we can really make this work is by reaching a large amount of people. We essentially need this to go viral in a sense. Please help, this is not a scam. https://www.youcaring.com/jeremyalanphelps-867933 By the way, Jeremy still surfs when he can (laying down of course). He's been part of a group called LIFE ROLLS ON for years. They help get people like him in the water and surf. I've been involved in it for a few years now. I got into it because I knew my friend Jeremy was involved in it. To be honest, I started doing it because I just wanted to get in the water and surf with my friend. It's been awesome to be part of it and see the smiles on everyone's faces as they experience the stoke. They typically only get to do it once a year for maybe 20 minutes. Check it out sometime if you're near an area they tour.. https://liferollson.org/ https://www.youcaring.com/jeremyalanphelps-867933
It's called boogie, belly, sponge bortting. Sorry dude I'm a broke ass non surfing good for nothing. I hope you get your handiwhip.
It's kinda like boogie boarding but you have to remember he can barely swim because he can't use his feet to tread water. He is strong with his arms and might be able to keep his head up for a few secs if that. Most of the people at these events can't swim at all. What we do is put them on a really thick longboard, center them up, keep their legs on the entire board, the boards have hand grips too, then we wait for a good set wave and push them into it. Then we have a bunch of people in the water in case they fall off. That's cool if you can't donate but please, please share it on social media.
This is the guy that started it, he became paralyzed from surfing just like my friend.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGeBX2FJCag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tapFhB0qfSM
That's cool man, good on you guys! I saw Rob Machado and some dude's do a similar thing with their friend who had a similar thing happen to him. It's on Step Into Liquid or one of those videos.
Yeah that's Jesse, he does hang out with Chob. Thanks man, share the link on social media if you can.. https://www.youcaring.com/jeremyalanphelps-867933
