Together with the team at IAI, they created a customized surfing chair that is placed on the surfboard and is able to maneuver together with Alon while he is surfing. Alon has successfully surfed with the solution and the team is now working on version 2 of the design.
Before his injury, Alon was an avid Kitesurfer - an activity that he found impossible to practice after his injury.
The need knower, Alon, was injured a few years ago and is paraplegic.
