Wailuku, HI

Kenji was surfing, patiently waiting for the next set wave, when suddenly, a shark attacked him. The attack resulted in the loss of his right leg below the knee. Despite the life-changing injury, Kenji faced his recovery with determination, refusing to let the experience take away his love for the ocean.

“Nothing can change my love for surfing.”
