I’ve never commented on a video before, but this is one of the most hopeful and inspiring videos I’ve ever seen. It brought me to tears. This man truly embodies faith, humility, strength and gratitude. I’m so grateful he decided to share, his daughter was right in saying that it would help and bless others. So thank you ❤
When I became a paraplegic I thought I would never surf again. I was so discouraged and sad. But even though I can’t walk I still surfed long boards laying down. Now I still can surf in my kayak. Pray this man gets the proper prosthetic limb to replace his foot..🙏🏽❤️🩹
I don't know you personally, I live in San Diego. But my sister lives in Honolulu and her husband (my bro in law), I believe is friends with you and a local. That's how I know about this story and I looked it up. Me and my family send out huge prayers to God for you and your speedy recovery. Blessings to all who helped you as well.
Thank you for sharing your story and faith. I live in Wisconsin and am very touched by how God took care of you and filled you with all His peace. I will pray for you. ❤
Wow this man is inspirational he is truly grateful giving his circumstances and I'm 100% confident he's going to make a miraculous strong recovery and continue to thrive in the rest of his life
Mahalo uncle, you battle the dragon, and came out alive to allow us not to leave the guard down and in your honor I'm aiming at the gills from now on. God bless you.
You were our 1st patient Easter morning. Amazing how calm and pleasant you were after such trauma. It could only be God ! Praying for uncomplicated and speedy recovery.God is good ! Pacu nurses at Queens 🙏🏽
You raised a very wise daughter (kudos to you, Dad), and she is right. I find your faith grace and thankfulness inspiring. I am reading your story from the hospital bed in California, I was feeling overwhelmed and read your story, and it touched my heart. Also what amazing friends and first responders .
Truly inspiring Coach Mike. You’re right about the outlook on life. Time is precious and enjoy every second of it. We love you and pray for your full recovery both physically and emotionally. Imua👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Oh my you went through so much trauma. Glad to see you on the mend. Keep up your positive attitude it's inspiring 😃 Love from British Columbia Canada ❤️
The leg was likely damaged a lot too, not just the foot. I wish he would have been able to get to the eyes. Is there any way a surfer could hide a screwdriver along the edge to where the screwdriver would be removed easily and used to jab the eyes of the shark, forcing the shark to release? Future surfboard builders could have a compartment right along the left or right edge with a red sticker on it for a built-in screwdriver that pulls right out, what do you think? In other words, you would push on this little compartment door that is spring-loaded and the screwdriver would be right there to yank out. It would be aerodynamic and not affect the water-foil.
Wow, what an incredibly detailed description of your incident! Having surfed there myself, you painted a picture like I was there. Thank you for sharing your story! It's incredibly humbling when others have saved your life. Mine is a different story but extremely humbling. Thankful for friends, family, and even strangers who will selflessly put it on the line when you're in trouble. Hope you are able to get back in the water one day! 🤙
Do you know right where it was? If so, would you pin that on a google-map and provide the exact location or at least close? Post a link in the reply and thanks!!
So humble, so anointed, bruddah you survived by your faith in our savior. You're an inspiration to the world! May more have faith like you. Keeping you in my prayers🙏🏼 God Bless you🙌🏼
Praying for you and your family. I will have my son and his friends (all surfers) learn from this video how to handle a situation like this so thank you🙏.
So sorry this happened to you Mike! You always have been a positive presence in the lineup and now you are inspiring us all. Lots of prayers and I look forward to seeing you surfing again 🙏🏽
This man is such a good kind loving human God Friends loved ones where right where they were suppose to be just listening to this man you can feel his heart thru his words . I’d love to send a gift and card to such a wonderful human ❤ I see such strength not broken ❤ sending love and prayers from London Ontario Canada
You're at risk every time you get in your car... As for the ocean the risk of drowning is much bigger than the risk of getting attacked by a shark.There are less than 20 attacks per year WORLDWIDE resulting in serious injuries and only 5-10 in death. The risk is tiny.
Amazing story and what a wonderful brave circle of friends you have! You are one courageous man. Prayers and well wishes from Mississippi. God bless you
What a good man. Prayers for a quick recovery. And so many heros who helped! Mahalo for your sharing your story. My thoughts will be with you and your ohana. 🙏❤️🤙

God bless him. 😇 GOD LOVES US SO MUCH!
I’m glad he’s OK. People need to realize this. Whether you’re a surfer, swimmer or just enjoying the water, when you enter the Ocean, you’re at risk.
DUH
You're at risk every time you get in your car... As for the ocean the risk of drowning is much bigger than the risk of getting attacked by a shark.There are less than 20 attacks per year WORLDWIDE resulting in serious injuries and only 5-10 in death. The risk is tiny.
Either way it's a gamble regardless. U enter their home without n invite. Shite can happen
He is truly blessed and knows gratitude is key! God bless him!👍🌻💛
God Bless you. The amazing power of God is so great! May your recovery be a speedy one.
