As the waves hit the beach wheelchair, the front wheels float off, and the back wheels roll forwards, with the wave.
So, I pretty much feel the sensation of being lifted and carried by a wave!
I was pretty quiet, at first, listening to the new sounds of the waves and surf, but I soon learned what was happening. I liked when they counted one, two, three... because when they said three, the wave was about to hit the chair, and carry me away! I don't think Mum will let me go out too deep, just yet!
I waved my arms around, after every wave.
I am a little small, for the seat, and have trouble keeping my body straight (because of the cerebral palsy), so we will probably get me some form of a harness. Today, we used a towel and a round cushion.
I'm going to love this! And, my noisy sister got to run off some energy, too!
The Kiama Independent wrote a newspaper article about me, my chair and One Fitness 24/7. Thanks, Kiama Independent!
Read about the One Fitness Ice Bucket Challenge, where the money for this chair was raised! It was a cold day, and the icy water was even colder! Thank you!
