Shared through windsurf magazine facebook. This is as inspirational and awesome as it gets in my book.

NO life jacket ??

Can't imagine what he has been through!

Incredibly inspiring stuff to get back out there on the water..... Go PAUL!

Brilliant to see Paul get back to what he loves.

It may be that there are ways to make windsurfing more suitable, but I think it is going to be difficult to adapt the equipment and get a great result. I love windsurfing as much as anyone, and if windsurfing is what he craves then I'm sure some adaptations are possible.

He could still get out on the water with his mates with a kite and board and it does seem that that could put him more on a par with others on the water. Just giving my opinion as a windsurfer that the equipment might offer more potential.

You could definitely put a foil on the bottom of that ski...might make the ride a bit smoother too...

Firstly my apology - I got his name wrong he - is Craig Wood. Paul is his father.

Maybe he can develop his windsurfing, as he seems to be able to use his legs a bit. Bart David in Tenerife windsurfs without footstraps and even lands back loops, so good luck to Craig and I hope he continues to enjoy his windsurfing.

There is another kite board system with more suspension than the one in the other video and they also are experimenting with a hydrofoil.
