wow. When I saw the title to this post I thought - 'Yeah, right!'
That's one of the most humbling things I have seen. Inspiring. He must expend as much energy just getting to and into the water as most of us average hacks use up in an average session.
Amazing.
And beautifully shot and edited also.
Beautiful footage. Thanks prawnhead; that was insirational. Best post of the year!
Kinda makes you feel like crap if you've ever whinged how hard your wetty is to get on!
That was pretty sweet! I wondered how he was gonna get off the shore, but he had it dialed. Only thing I could think of was why doesn't he stick his wetty at least half on at home? Save it getting full of sand.
p.s.
Wonder if there is a forum for that?...
Thanks Prawnhead, awesome vid as others have said, makes you realise how lucky we are.
I love the fact that once he is on the water he is as free as any of us but I am sure that he appreciates it more than any able bodied person can ever imagine.
I once went diving for crays with a paraplegic (Vietnam vet that lost both his legs to a landmine) at Rottnest, I wasn't really feeling like it but he was keen as and was going to go on his own so I thought I had better go to keep an eye on him..... wow did I learn a lesson that day, I was battling to keep up with him, he got two crays and I only got one.
We all enjoy the feeling that the ocean provides, to forget all problems for a while........ But this guy takes it to a new level. Awesome vid, very inspiring
ps - if you posted that on a Monday morning I would have broken down
Really enjoyed this. It does make You appreciate what we have. This guy is a legend in my book. Good on ya!
