Meet David Thomas, an avid water-skier, founder of the non-profit Ski Dawgs and senior drafter for NASA. Doing tricks with his friends at fifteen years old, resulted in David suffering a C5 incomplete spinal cord injury. David tells the story of how he built his own adaptive waterski and then how his friend talked him into starting a non-profit adaptive waterskiing program. The program is called Ski Dawgs and it's been a huge success in Louisiana.
Adaptive waterskiing is a sport that people with all different levels of ability can participate. Another special part of the Ski Dawgs Program is that people hang out all day and we have lunch together. Making new friends with others who have disabilities similar to yours is always important for mental health.
