Watersports are a big part of Montana summers and DREAM Adaptive is making it possible for everyone to participate at the Echo Lake Watersports Week.
With drivers and boats supplied by Launch Watersports at no cost, it made this year a lot easier for DREAM to organize. The athletes got to try wakeboarding, water skiing, tubing, kayaking and paddleboarding.
“My accident was just a year ago so it was my first time getting back out on the water. It feels amazing to be able to get back out there and on it. I’m really stoked. Hopefully, get back out there and hopefully, the sun comes back out too,” said DREAM Adaptive athlete Erik Barnes.
The gear used is specially designed for people with disabilities using outriggers for added stability and chair attachments on the paddleboards and wakeboards among other cool adaptations.
