Gone are the days when people that are physically challenged are absolutely helpless. These days, society and the physically handicapped communities have found means to make incapacitated individuals become more independent and responsible. They can even venture into sports without any problem. People like to overcome challenges, and it is great to note that the challenge of physical disability is now a thing of the past.

One of the most raved recreations for disabled people is kayaking. There are some people who have revolutionized the sport and made them available even to handicapped individuals. One name that stands out would be Mark Theobald.

Mark is known as the disabled kayak inventor/extraordinaire to his peers. With his innovative ways and astonishing dedication, he has made the sport possible and accessible to people who before had no chance of enjoying paddling the waters. His revolutionary paddles and backrest adaptations have made his designs a hit for many organizations with disability programs.

Handicapped individuals who are into adventure sports have much to thank Mark for. One disabled adventurer who cant walk said that it is a great sport for him as paddling can replace walking and he is free to explore unique environments and overcome challenges independently.

Even quadriplegics have a chance to enjoy sports as Mark is continually working with them to create designs that enables them to enjoy kayaking independently. One in particular, a female college student who suffers from cerebral palsy said she didnt think she would be able to do kayaking. They were able to do the unexpected. Like many people suffering from CP, her movements are severely limited.

A quadriplegic who had very limited use of his hands took one of Marks creations for a spin. The revolutionized hand paddles made it easy for him to command the kayak. He gave Marks paddle concept a very high review. At the moment, he is working with Mark to further develop the concept to enable even those with severe disabilities to enjoy the sport of kayaking.

There are some people like Mark who tirelessly devote their time, skill and effort to help make handicapped people enjoy life to the fullest. A sport like kayaking is no longer exclusive to fully able people. Even people with disabilities now have a chance to explore new environments and surpass insurmountable challenges even on their own.
