AFF June Paddle Day 2026
Saturday, June 20th
Mother’s Beach, Long Beach

We’re so excited to gather again for our June AFF Paddle Day at Mother’s Beach in Long Beach. Whether this is your first Paddle Day or you’ve been part of our community for years, we can’t wait to spend the day on the water with you — sharing joy, connection, and the freedom of inclusive adventure. To keep the experience safe and fully supported, participation is limited to 25 paddlers.

At Adaptive Freedom Foundation, our Paddle Days are about more than paddling. They are about freedom, confidence, connection, and joy. We create space for people to experience the fun, healing, and possibility of being on the water in a safe, supportive community.

This event is for people with disabilities, as well as those recovering from significant injury, illness, stroke, cancer, or other health challenges, who may benefit from extra support on the water.

What We Offer

WASUP Paddling
Join us aboard one of our WASUP™ (Wheelchair Adapted Stand-Up Paddle) boards, with support from an experienced lead paddler and buddy volunteers.

Paddle with a Buddy
Enjoy time on the water with a volunteer buddy who will support you on a paddle board at your own comfort and skill level.

Whichever option you choose, our goal is the same: to help you feel safe, supported, included, and free to enjoy the experience.
