National Teams Unite in San Diego's Iconic Balboa Park, Celebrate the ISA Spirit with the Parade of Nations and Sands of the World Ceremony
 
 
La Jolla, California, September 24, 2015 The 2015 ISA World Adaptive Surfing Championship Presented by Challenged Athletes Foundation, Hurley, Stance and the City of San Diego was officially inaugurated with the Opening Ceremony in San Diego's iconic Balboa Park, marking the largest international Adaptive Surfing competition of its kind to date.
 
In attendance were 18 National Teams that travelled from around the globe to celebrate this inaugural competition. Influential members of the San Diego community and Surf Industry, such as Mayor Kevin Faulconer and surf legend Rob Machado were also present.
 
The celebration began with the Parade of Nations. Each country carried their national flags while parading through the picturesque walkways of Balboa Park, led by ISA President Fernando Aguerre, ISA Officials and Judges. The Parade ended at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion where the ceremony continued.
 
Mayor Kevin Faulconer welcomed the international athletes to the City of San Diego.
 
"Surf culture is San Diego culture, which makes our city the perfect spot to host the very first ISA Word Adaptive Surfing Championship. Surfers and San Diegans may seem laid-back, but beneath the surface, have the passion and drive to do some incredible things. This competition is about celebrating those who have overcome physical challenges to perform amazing feats in the water. The athletes in the ISA World Adaptive Surfing Championship are proof that physical challenges don't mean physical limitations."
