"Next imma be fucking shit up with a prosthetic."
Gallows humour and distorted guitars. All footage filmed before, edited after, from his hospital bed no less.

Mate , ripping !!!!! Be proud of that edit .
Ripping I can match you in the car slides but the surf, forget it.
Yeah, not exactly nursing his turns. Full ripper.
Thanks for putting together your video. Something Ive always wanted to do, highlights of great surfers & never got round to.
Many moons ago, I surfed long point waves with a calm soul.
We talked a long while, waiting for the set waves to roll in around the headland.
I caught a wave, he caught the next.
His prosthetic leg came off, washed & then floated in towards the shore.
As he paddled in to pick up his other leg, a small pod of dophins surounded him.
It was a moment in time, I will never forget. Hadnt seen that happen before or since.
We were somewhere near Grafton...
He told me he had been hitchhiking & woke up in a hospital, with one of his legs gone.

The sands of time had filled up another bay of plenty.... Infrequent swell made these sections faster and choices difficult for some.....
Blown away by Kai's attitude. Legend.
