Waialua, HI

On October 9, 2015, while surfing, Colin was unexpectedly attacked by a 12-foot tiger shark. Pulled underwater, he fought to escape and, upon resurfacing, realized his fingers were severely injured, and his leg was completely gone. Miraculously, hie survived. Now an above-knee amputee and adaptive surfer, he strives to live more fully on one leg than he did with two. 

“One day at a time! Trying to live more on one leg than I did with two.”
