June 3, 2013: Paraplegic surfs

Pascale Honore, 50, was left a paraplegic after a car accident resulted in a T4 spinal cord injury 18 years ago. But she always loved watching her sons surf in the waves of Elliston, South Australia and was saddened that she couldn't surf herself.

That's when local surfer Tyron Swan figured he could surf with her duct taped to his back. Damn if they didn't pull it off.

"I just remember looking up and seeing the colours in the wave, hearing that sound ... it was all over too soon," said Honore.

Now they're continuing to surf this way and developing an act.
