REGISTRATION OPENS JUNE 24 2026
Life Rolls On events are designed to serve individuals with physical disabilities and paralysis through adaptive surf, skate, and fishing experiences. As Life Rolls On has grown, we are committed to staying aligned with our founding mission while delivering the safest and highest-quality experience possible. Depending on event capacity, staffing, equipment, and conditions, athletes with other disabilities may be included on a space-available basis. All registrations are reviewed individually to ensure appropriate support, safety, and overall experience for every athlete.
Our events thrive on a supportive and energetic atmosphere.
So, please feel free to come down to the beach to cheer on all the surfers and volunteers!
