by Adaptive Action Sports
Adaptive Action Sports (ADACS) was founded in 2005 by three-time Paralympic medalist Amy Purdy and Daniel Gale, making it the first U.S. nonprofit dedicated specifically to adaptive snowboarding and skateboarding. ADACS played a central role in the campaign that brought snowboarding into the Paralympic Games for the first time. Its high-performance snowboard programme is based at Copper Mountain, Colorado.
ADACS delivers recreational skate and surf programmes, action sport camps and events, and a high-performance adaptive snowboarding programme for youth, young adults, and wounded veterans with permanent physical disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and PTSD. Programmes are designed to teach new skills, challenge athletes, and build confidence — spanning both entry-level recreation and elite Paralympic pathway development.
Young people, adults, and veterans with permanent physical disabilities — including limb differences, spinal cord injuries, and TBI — who want to participate in snowboarding, skateboarding, and other action sports. The organisation also specifically supports wounded veterans seeking high-adrenaline adaptive recreation.
