A few years ago access to Virginia Key, a place that had always felt like home to so many of us, was suddenly in question. The freedom to ride, to paddle, to gather on the water was threatened. And for a moment, it felt like the community we’d built was slipping away.

But we showed up. We spoke up. We came together not just as riders, but as a family of people who believe that the ocean is meant to be shared.

Virginia Key isn’t just a launch spot. It’s where kids fall in love with the water for the first time. Where people of all backgrounds find common ground. It’s where we go to feel free to breathe, to play, to connect.

Adventure Sports has always been about more than gear. We’re here to protect access, to create opportunities, and to welcome everyone to the water. Because we believe the ocean belongs to all of us.

Reclaiming this space wasn’t just about sports. It was about community. About the freedom to gather, to grow, and to ride together.

And now that it’s open again we’re not taking it for granted.

We invite you to come back. Bring your board, your friends, your family, or just yourself. Let’s continue building something special here. Let’s ride together freely, joyfully, and as one community.

The water is waiting. And this time, it’s truly ours.
