About the solution
'The way the board is designed, it's instant Independence”, Watt explained Today.
Since he has the Onit Ability Board, Webb has gone on to compete in surfing and paddleboarding competitions, which he wasn’t able to do in 30 years.
“Onit Ability Boards provides disabled persons with a revolutionary new piece of adaptive sports equipment for traversing water. Utilizing technology dating back thousands of years to Southeast Asia in conjunction with modern technology, we have created a paddle board that accomodates wheelchairs for individuals who are paraplegic, amputees or with related disabilities.
Our unique system is designed with an all-terrain surf chair, a secure locking mechanism and a custom ramp that allows paddlers to wheel independently onto the board straight from land. Our system is stabilized with outriggers on either side providing superior stability for the rider”, it says on the oficial website.
The Onit Ability Board has been used to help not only wheelchair users, but also para-athletes, amputees and the mentally disabled. It can can be purchased online for $5,000.
