The April issue of New Mobility, the magazine for active wheelchair users, features an informative article on gear and tactics for navigating sand at the beach. Author Jessica Farthing of Savannah, Georgia shares that her inspiration for writing the piece came from personal experience. Jessica's husband Paul is an incomplete quadriplegic, and summer beach days have proven frustrating due to the lack of good options to access the sand. "[Paul would] always be up on the boardwalk or in some area away from the action," she says.
In researching beach access products, Jessica and Paul found Beach Trax. Excited to try out the user-friendly solution, they purchased their own set of mats. Here's what Jessica had to say after using Beach Trax to access beautiful Tybee Island: "Paul and I loved, loved, loved the Beach Trax. Finally, we have a way to get out on our long stretch of soft sand at Tybee Island without depending on others. True independence!"
In Jessica's article, she included the story of how Dave Foster of Del Mar was able to check his Beach Trax as luggage on the plane to his vacation home in Costa Rica. To read the full story, click the button below.
