Watch this wave break it seems inconceivable that some will call this a small day, I’ve seen it break a few times and there’s never been a moment where I thought it fell short of awe inspiring, though on this occasion my travel companion topped even Jaws for its inspiration. I may been in contact with Craig Wood for over a year it’s only this week I really got to know him.
If we’d only talked on the phone you’d think I could have mistaken his up beat conversations for that of a lotto winner rather than someone who’s lost his legs and arm to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Rather than looking back with if’s and but’s he seems to be more driven than any nineteen year old I’ve ever met. He was a passionate windsurfer long before he joined the army and has set his sights on continuing his love with the sport, that might not be this week just chatting to him you just know its going to happen.
You may have seen a couple of pictures some time ago where Robby Naish sent one of his personal sails of to Craig with a message from the pro’s who live on the island, well those guys turned up again once they heard Craig was on the rock and Craig hasn’t been able to stop smiling since.
