After conquering 50-foot wave, Australian blind surfer seeks Paralympic inclusion | Kieran Pender
Briefly

During Matt Formston's experience at Nazare, the first time he rode down a massive wave on a jet ski, he truly appreciated the power of the ocean's energy.
Formston's method of surfing involved a whistle system, where his tow driver used it to communicate the perfect timing for him to catch and ride the waves.
Despite being visually impaired due to macular dystrophy, Formston has excelled as a multiple world and national blind surfing champion, embracing every challenge.
Surfing the world's biggest wave was an unprecedented challenge for Formston, who is recognized for overcoming his visual limitations to conquer fearsome breaks.
