I was diagnosed with MS in 2003. Progressively over the years I developed major symptoms such as muscle weakness and balance issue that led me to use the wheelchair.   in 2019 joined the monthly "waves4all" sessions, with Captain John White, in Oceanside harbor, as prone assisted. Over the years, working out and PT, gained the power to switch to prone unassisted and felt that this can be more than just recreational activity and decided to participate in adaptive competitions. Starting January 2022, participated in 6 WSA and 2 Oceanside Longboard competitions (Adaptive heats) and my first US Open Adaptive. June 2022, joined the Israeli team as the first Adaptive Female competitor! Yay! Representing Israel in ISA 2022 & 2023. Took year and a half break from surfing, fucosing on mobility rehabilitation. and finally with the help of the CAF clinics, on September 2024 started surfing again, kneeling, huge personal win!
