If you’re not moved by Billy Kemper’s story, you don’t have a soul. This is the story that the younger generation should be watching. Not the crazy stuff some of the other guys post.

So many people get stuck with life trauma from accidents, life experiences, etc.
Billy just overcame all fears, and trauma becoming the best version of himself.

Truly admirable. Bravo.

Tahiti has the coolest name, what a beautiful woman, what a beautiful family, what a beautiful story! This is the first time I've been excited for a new episode of something to drop in a long time. So refreshing from the garbage you see on TV nowadays!

after the first wave i got intense goosebumps!!

Billy ive been surfing 35 of my 44 yrs on this earth and this documentary epitomizes the impact and importance that a wave has on our souls. Not just the gnarliest or biggest but any wave. If you didnt go back, you wouldve started dieing a slow death and wouldve lost everything because you wouldve lost yourself. Much love to you and your family. The surf community is proud of you and wishes you and your family the best!

How this hasn’t been viewed by more people is beside me, one of the best series I’ve watched

When he caught that first wave at the ranch I got goosebumps....seeing the people that helped him through this whole thing from his doctors to Laird to Kelly is so awesome. He has the most awesome family and friends ever. There is nothing you can't get through with a support system like that

[alexandersanchez]

One of the best comeback stories I've ever heard!

Had knee surgery last week this series has helped me a lot get threw the mental issues now focusing in recovery thanks 🙏🏽

That first wave at the surf ranch was incredible and got me a bit teared up. Seeing Billy's phenomenal progress and his family and friends there to see him on his first wave back was nothing short of heroic. The love and support that the professional surfing community share is incredible and inspiring. From Laird opening up his Malibu home to help Billy through the physical and mental recovery to Kelly opening up the ranch for Billy to get back on his board, I think we can all learn something from the love and support shared by the surf community and helping one another.

I'll be disappointed if this series doesn't win every award it's eligible for. 😮 Absolutely amazingly beautifully done. Thank you so much for sharing his story. ☺️🙏🏼

As an OT its awesome to see a determined return to passion, he had the BEST clinical staff to support him on his journey back.

I learned about Billy from a magazine I picked up at my local health food store. Not expecting much I read the article and immediately looked for the WSL videos on YT. The surf shots are breath taking, the video quality is outstanding. The music is amazing. Then there is the amazing inspirational story about catastrophic adversity, determination, perseverance, family, faith, friendship and ultimate triumph. I cried and I cheered. Billy showed us all what life is all about. I wish him and his family all good things. I am truly moved to live and think differently. Thank you.

[Clarklawnj]

I normally don't get sucked into videos, but this story is legit. Billy seems like a super humble, good guy. He risks his life for his family, like a solider, ironworker, cop. Talk about getting knocked down and not feeling sorry for yourself and getting back up on the horse...this is it. Kudos to you and WSL did the right thing stepping up and getting him back to U.S., clearly that saved his life.

[titouagain]

I did cry every episode too. You truly are an inspiration, Billy. I wish you the biggest rides and a safe way home every time.🤘

[jjohn]

Best part of this whole series for me is how much love he has for the family. So much respect to you Billy.

[skboog]

Seeing someone so committed to both surfing and his family is an inspiration no matter what background you might come from. Thanks WSL and Billy.

[makafuniruni]

Incredibly inspirational story of courage, friendship, family, community, hardship and will power - Really, just life in general! Anybody could and should learn from this. The best series on the internet right now.
