BEYOND SIGHT, The Derek Rabelo Story. from WalkingOnWater on Vimeo.

Internet, this is a trailer from the film, Beyond Sight, The Derek Rabelo Story. Derek is blind and he surfs. But he doesn't just surf regular waves. He surfs the legendary big wave spot Pipeline.

Kelly Slater tweeted this about Derek Rabelo and surfing blindfolded:

I blindfolded myself and tried to catch some waves the other day. Nearly impossible. Can't believe Derek can do it. Inspiring.

I showed the trailer to the boys.

"How does he surf if he can't see?" asks Vinny. "Thats impossible."

"He surfs by feel, and it's not impossible," I say. "It's amazing."
