It was March 2016.

An up-and-coming pro starting to turn heads on the WQS paddles out at his local beachie in Kiama, New South Wales, Australia. What follows next will change the lives of a few people forever.

Brett Connellan's story is insane. Attacked by a shark, rescued by one of his best mates, and airlifted to a nearby hospital, Brett is only at the beginning of his way back. A journey of redemption. Of perseverance and resilience.

Hit with the words, "you might never be able to walk again", Brett made a choice.

A choice to fight. A choice to one day surf the exact same beach again where it all started. A choice to not wanting to be defined by what happened but rather by what happened next.

This is Brett's story. This is Brett Connellan's journey from pain to fame and the beauty of second chances.
