Kai and Brooke Colless - I Tried To Get Out Of Bed But I Was Paralysed

January 19, 2025 • Nick Dempsey

In this episode I speak with Brooke Colless and her son Kai, who is a wheelchair user following a very rare spinal condition. We discuss the nomadic lifestyle the family were living, the concerning progression of Kai's condition, the day he tried to stand up and was paralysed, as well as the way that he is now dominating the adaptive surfing world.
