Paraplegic Surfs strapped to friends back.

[DKO 1,252]

When Pascale Honore was left paralysed in a car accident 18 years ago, she had to 'relearn to live a different way' and accept 'suddenly all the things I loved doing I couldn't do anymore.'

But now the wheelchair bound 50-year-old from Adelaide, Australia, has been given a new lease of life after discovering the joy of surfing thanks to her son's friend, Tyron Swan, 23.

He takes to the waves with her strapped to his back with duct tape.

How cool! And SCUBA too. What a friend...

I remember many years ago, at a state fair, seeing how some teen friends of a paraplegic had made him a crude "stand" so he could "walk" upright with his friends, instead of being pushed in a wheelchair.

It was touching. Those are friends.
