FORWARD ABILITY SUPPORT RETURNS AS PRESENTING PARTNER FOR 2026
We’re proud to welcome back Forward Ability Support as the Presenting Partner of the 2026 BrightSky Australian Adaptive Surfing Pro Championships — and we couldn’t be more stoked to have them on board again for what’s set to be a bigger, bolder and even more impactful event.
A Partnership That Moves Forward
Since 1961, Forward Ability Support has been a national leader in advocacy, solutions and opportunity for people living with spinal cord injury.
Their vision is powerful in its simplicity: to create a brighter future for their community.
They believe that wherever someone may be in their journey — physically or mentally — there is always a way to move forward.
Their purpose remains unwavering: to support people with spinal cord injury to live their best life. Through collaboration, excellence, mindfulness and leadership, they continue to create meaningful change for individuals, families and communities across Australia.
Back for 2026 — Bigger and Better
After an incredible presence at the 2025 Championships, we’re thrilled to have Forward Ability Support return as Presenting Partner for 2026.
Their energy, commitment and genuine connection to the adaptive community helped elevate last year’s event — and this year, we’re building on that momentum.
Adaptive surfing represents resilience, strength and fearless progression — values that align seamlessly with Forward Ability Support’s mission.
Together, we’re not just hosting a championship.
We’re creating a platform that celebrates ability, drives inclusion and inspires possibility.
We can’t wait to work alongside Forward Ability Support again as we grow the 2026 BrightSky Australian Adaptive Surfing Pro Championships into our most powerful event yet.
Here’s to pushing limits, breaking barriers and riding an even bigger wave in 2026.
A MESSAGE FROM FORWARD ABILITY SUPPORT
Sport has a unique way of bringing people together — across ability, background and experience.
And there’s something truly powerful about watching someone take on the waves on their own terms.
That’s why we at Forward Ability Support are proud to once again be the Presenting Partner of the 2026 Australian Adaptive Pro Surf Championship, alongside BrightSky Australia as Naming Rights sponsor.
From the beach to the break, this event creates connection, confidence and moments that matter — in and out of the water — and shows what’s possible when there is access, inclusion and opportunity for people of all abilities.
We can’t wait to see you there.
