Grabbing a surfboard and riding the waves was the key to recovery for
Llywelyn Williams after losing his leg in an accident.

Now, the 26-year-old hopes to encourage more people of all abilities to try
the sport by organizing adaptive surfing events.

Llywelyn's passion for the sport began when he started surfing at the age
of 12 at Porth Ceiriad and Porth Neigwl, near his home in Abersoch.

He showed promise and competed locally, but a few years later, a road
accident almost scuppered his dreams of surfing professionally.

While skateboarding home, he was hit by a car and suffered life-threatening
injuries, including dislocating both hips, a head injury, a broken femur, a
shattered pelvis, a punctured lung, perforated bowel, and a split liver.
