Amputee surfers paddle out again
May 12th, 2009
From the Orange County [CA] Register:
Surfers with amputations have been gathering at California’s San Onofre State Beach for a program called “Amp’d.” Some wear their prosthetics to surf; others don’t.
Surfing with other amputees allows them to share tips, and to see that missing a limb doesn’t mean you can’t do what you love.
Seventeen-year-old Shane Lincoln (above), who had his leg amputated after a car accident nearly three years ago, enjoyed getting back on a board. “It was sooo sick,” he said after riding five waves. “I didn’t think it would be that easy.”
