Thank you to everyone who put their heart, soul, and courage into this series. On-camera or behind the scenes, you have raised the bar for all of us on or off the surf. Solid. Thank you!

I understand that fear that Tahiti felt. I cannot even imagine. She went through every step of this pain with you. Taking care of those boys, worrying about the future, seeing the possibilities of reinjury. So happy it went well for you and I am happy for your family.

All I can think of is his selfishness. He has a family to think about, yet he acts like a single jack the lad.

@asrotties 3 месяца назад

@@rasher331 I don't think the, he is making his living by surfing. There are a lot of people who go to dangerous jobs every day to support their families. This is just one of those. It wasn't all about fun, it is skill and making a living. Still terrifying for the family too.

Such a fantastic series. I can watch this guy surf for hours! He’s such an inspiration. I’ve seen a lot of people in pain being a nurse but seeing Billy in the pain he was in is something I haven’t seen before. I’m not a surfer but I love the surf and the ocean at my doorstep. Can’t imagine not being near the ocean ❤️

Dearest Billie,. Your story is, was and will be a source of inspiration to untold people. I am a Shaman and Healer based in Pennsylvania. I watched all six of your videos (twice), and I knew that eventually, you would have to go back to Morocco to retrieve yourself. Video seven popped up on my feed today, and I stopped what I was doing to immediately watch it. Watching and listening to you speak about "Soul Retrieval" and the power that comes when you reclaim yourself and all your lost, forgotten and misplaced parts, was truly heart opening. I saw the need for the completion of the circle, and I am so glad your soul guided you back to where you needed to go to regather, reclaim and restore yourself. "Soul loss" is a powerful experience, but "Soul Retrieval," by its very nature, lifts us up towards our greatness and open us to our truth, strength, resilience and reignition of our passion. Very well done. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Many blessings to you and your beautiful family.

@WS_00 2 года назад

Wow, it’s been a little while since I’ve tasted bile….but how rad to hear from a shaman bad……but surely in this age you’d be worldly…..to know shit from surely… Or do you USA? Or do you….? Sorry, but I’m Aussie, and that sort of comment makes me sorry.. Sorry that the governing body on the so called world surf league needs to clutch at straws enough to post such content…and for that content to encourage people to comment such vacuous comments like the “Shaman and Healer”…….

Aloha Billy! Many mahalos for telling your story so amazingly well, with such stunning videography & with what looks to be a lot of actual, real-time footage! So beautiful, so inspirational and so meaningful, especially for those of us who've been severely injured doing what we love, and could find the determination to push through all the undeniably difficult struggles to made our way back on top! The love of our sport will undoubtedly carry us through the best times of our lives! It's a remarkable a gift that will last a lifetime! Yeah! At 67, I'm still enjoying the surf and fully intend to continue for as long as it brings joy!

Way to go Billy. Surfing God!! That was an amazing physical and mental comeback, that you allowed the world to witness it all, says a lot man. Hoping the best things in life fall on you and your strong family, in abundance.... **Quick story (sorry)** My Grandma, who was in her late 90s, went to rural China and fell, broke her hip, and it took us 3 months to get her back to a hospital in the states. That she survived all those weeks, in a bed, not getting the surgery she needed I am still in awe of. She would've really related to some of what you went through, on a level, only you and your closest, get. Anyways, I've been wanting to pass that on for awhile. When you put it all into a book, it's gonna make my sci-fi book blog officially a "Surf & SciFi Books" blog, or site...idk, maybe a Science fiction Surf movie, or book, is what the world needs....I better sign off now before I get carried away. Peace and love!

These are the people who to different degrees suffered beside you, changed their lives to accommodate your needs & supported you every step . Wow! Your loved ones wanted one thing, your happiness. Too bad it was necessary for them to continue to pay so much personally. I have deep compassion for you all. It is such a miracle you have recovered your life. I wish y’all peace good health & love.

@mikejackson8963 9 месяцев назад

I think you are right! It’s Chops and it’s probably the biggest I have ever seen there which makes it possibly the biggest ever ridden. It would have been death to get too deep and risk getting thrown onto the reef there.
