About the solution
One of her sons’ friend, Tyron Swan, suggested her to join him and he came up with a plan to get her closer to the sea. He thought about taping her to him. She is duct-taped to the back of Tyron and together they charge waves on the west coast, Australia.
She can now call herself a surfer.
