This clip, filmed by Tim Bonython at Nazare, features blind surfer Matt Formston who believes, ''as a person with a disability, you have a choice: you can sit in a room and feel sorry for yourself, or you can get out and live your best life."
Here's Matty choosing the latter.
"That board felt like the starting point for a new life."
The inner mechanics of Russell's mind.
Sniffing out the bounty on land and at sea.
From a day with a low wave count yet high consequence.
Like a hundred social media clips joined together but not on social media.
Seeking darkness on a sunny day.
And Matahi lifts the bar yet again.
Bite size humans in king size waves.

Respect brother
That’s awesome, I’d love to see a Swellnet interview with Matt. Charging, some dreamy conditions in that video, yiieeeew!
Epic. When I saw he was going over there I thought he may shoulder hop a few but nah, triple overhead and he's charging the backdoor on the peak. Fantastic stuff.
Good clip, Matt surfed those big A frames well. Congrats to him!
Nice to see Lucas Chumbo,, the new king of Nazaré, on jet ski and whistle duties.
good clip would be better if showed some waves in real speed
When it comes to blind sports that’s the ballsiest ever …
Well done old mate
