This clip, filmed by Tim Bonython at Nazare, features blind surfer Matt Formston who believes, ''as a person with a disability, you have a choice: you can sit in a room and feel sorry for yourself, or you can get out and live your best life."

Here's Matty choosing the latter.

Epic. When I saw he was going over there I thought he may shoulder hop a few but nah, triple overhead and he's charging the backdoor on the peak. Fantastic stuff.

Good clip, Matt surfed those big A frames well. Congrats to him!
Nice to see Lucas Chumbo,, the new king of Nazaré, on jet ski and whistle duties.

Well done old mate
