Double Amputee surfing at Seal Beach
Surfing Seal Beach, California, 2008. It didnt take long before Mohammad Malek figured out he didnt need legs to stand on a surfboard. In less than a dozen waves Malek, a double amputee who lost both his legs from landmines in Afghanistan, pushed his arms down, flipped his hips up to the sky, and was riding the board on his head.
The spectators on the sand broke out in applause, jaws dropped. Malek sat back down, and flashed a huge smile. The 18-year-old Afghani had discovered the stoke.
It was in 2005 when Malek was walking home from work at a bakery in Kabul when he saw a plant he thought would make for a good meal. He stopped his bike, and went into the brush to find one to pull from the ground.
A landmine exploded, blowing off one of his legs. After the shock wore off, he got up to try to walk on one leg to get help. Another landmine went off, his other leg gone. Shrapnel filled his left arm.
Maybe I should die, he said he remembered thinking.
A group of American soldiers happened to come by soon after the explosions, but they were too afraid to enter the landmine filled area. They threw a root to Malek, which he clamped between his teeth so they could drag him to safety.
Malek was brought to Loma Linda University Medical Center in November, 2005, for extended treatment and physical therapy for his injury.
While at the hospital, Malek has been active playing sports such as volleyball, basketball and made great progress swimming.
It was about a week later when Malek got his first glimpse of surfers at a beach in Los Angeles. He pushed his wheelchair to the side of the pier, and lifted his body over the railing to stare at the surfers.
When I see them, I like. But I dont know how to use, he said through a translator, Mohammad Ayoub, who came with Malek from Afghanistan.
Tim Hickman, director of purchasing for the hospital, remembered seeing a news segment about a year ago on Michael Pless, owner of M & M surf school in Seal Beach, who had taught several people with disabilities how to surf over the years.
Pless is no stranger to disability. In 1975, at age 25, he fell off a 35 foot telephone poll and suffered a crushed heel. He was in therapy for two years learning how to walk again, trying to maintain his balance. Through it all, he continued to surf, at first laying down, then eventually standing back up. He still has trouble walking and cant move his ankle.
