"Birthright"

TTT

I posted this short video a few years back... 6/2/2010.

I found it very humbling back then and I still do.

If you haven’t seen it before, slow down, take a few minutes to watch and think about it.

The video link is on the first post of the thread.

Heart wrenching and inspiring. Makes me think...."I actually complained about the walk up to my truck at ft Ross?!?"

Thanks again, Alfredo.

Thanks for sharing this video. My heart stopped. Made me tear and wonder who i am. An art....Very inspirational. I salute to all who are more disable than me! Fly...coz there are no boundaries or challenges that we can’t conquer.

Here's a little additional info on the guy:

Even though the original post was from 2010 it still sticks with me to this day.

Great video, thank you for sharing.

Very cool indeed.

Yes he is from Stinson. I lived there till I was 13 and he was one of my childhood friends neighbors. I best remember him as the dude with the porsche with hand controls and surf rack. Paralyzed from a surfing accident . That is bolinas channel he is surfing. Great video , brings a flood if childhood memories. Thanks for posting.

Saw that dude out at that spot probably about when this video was made. Seeing him drop out of that rusted old truck and head to the surf dragging his board behind was a strong image that I never forgot. He had a dog with him that day who stayed on shore running back and forth barking as he paddled out (actually seemed like the dog was trying to warn him of something).

Thanks for pulling this back up or I never would have gotten the story.

Just watch this video for the first time 😭 made me tear up.
