Alum and adaptive surfer Claudio Morales is preparing for the World Surfing Championship on Thursday, August 29, 2024. Morales grew up surfing in Chile, where he began surfing at the age of three. He currently lives in Santa Cruz, where he spends his days surfing at the Pleasure Point Park coast waves. Morales suffered spinal cord injury in a car accident 12 years ago, while he was a student. After his accident, Morales underwent therapy to recover mobility where he was introduced to Adaptive Surfing and decided we wanted to be part of it, once he recovered.
