The AcessSurf #HatTag fundraiser started with:
AccesSurf asked the community, at large, about “What access to the ocean means to you?” From there, the Hawai’i Adaptive Surf Team chose their top 5 favorites and then the public voted on the TOP hashtag: #theOceanisMyMedicine submitted by Buster Kawasaki. Congratulations, Buster!
From Buster’s website:
Hi, I am Buster! I am an Adaptive Prone Surfer. I was diagnosed with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 6, in 2008. It is a condition characterized by progressive problems with movement. People with this condition initially experience problems with coordination and balance (ataxia). Other early signs and symptoms of SCA6 include speech difficulties, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus), and double vision. And I experience it all! After really feeling the effects in 2012, I’ve grown to promote Health. Fitness. Positivity. and Adaptation even more so.
