Kenya’s adaptive surfing team—the *Ocean Warriors*—won bronze at the 2025 Africa Adaptive Surfing Champs in Durban on October 5, 2025. Athletes with limb differences used custom boards and beach wheelchairs. Amani Cole (16, Malindi) placed 2nd in U-18, qualifying for the 2026 World Champs. The ocean doesn’t see disability—it sees courage, she said. The Kenya Surfing Federation, recognized in 2023, now has 6 adaptive clubs. Safaricom pledged KSh 25 million for equipment.
