	The International Surfing Association (ISA) has been recognized as the official International Federation for the sport of Para Surfing (also known as Adaptive Surfing) by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).
After the IOC historic decision to include Surfing on the Sports Programme of the Tokyo 2020 Games in August of 2016, the ISA has continued with its ambitions to include Adaptive Surfing in the Paralympic Games, and this IPC recognition brings the sport one step closer to achieving that goal. The ISA has been the global leader in the growth and development of Adaptive Surfing through organizing World Championships, Adaptive Surf Clinics, and Symposiums. In 2015 the ISA held the inaugural ISA World Adaptive Surfing Championship with the goal of giving the world’s best physically challenged surfers a platform to display their talent on a global stage. The 2017 edition of the event, which is set to take place from November 30 – December 3 in La Jolla, California, will feature theaddition of the first women’s division in the event.
