Para-surfing has been excluded from the Los Angeles Paralympics. But that hasn't stopped fans and participants of the sport in strengthening their desire for it…
The push for para-surfing to be included in the Paralympics has been a priority for over half a decade, said three-time world champion Liz Stone.
But then came the announcement: para-surfing would be passed over the for Los Angeles Paralympics, with para-climbing being included instead. Mallory Weggemann, a three-time Paralympic swimmer, sat down to promote Watershed, a feature-length documentary following her story as an athlete, which she and her husband, Jay Snyder, co-directed.
The ideas and advocacy garnered attention, and in June an online petition asking for para-surfing to be included in the Los Angeles Games began, getting over 19,000 signatures.
