Meet
Chris.
Before his injury, Chris Waker lived for big lines and steep descents. Snowboarding gave him freedom. Adrenaline. Identity. A spinal cord injury could’ve ended that—but Chris never stopped sending it.
Today, Chris still rides waves and mountains. He’s found new ways to push limits through Adapt’s Adventure Prep Program—a specialized training initiative that helps people with paralysis return to life and adventure on their own terms.
“The competitor in me never left. Pressure’s on, time’s ticking, drop in and send it.”
