Matt Formston is a world champion surfer, Paralympian, and Guinness World Record-holder, known for surfing 51-foot waves at Nazaré and breaking barriers in not only his sport but his own perceptions of himself.

"I’ve worked out it’s because I was fearful of being different... Now, I’m proud of my disability, and it’s part of who I am,"

Discover his unique approach to surfing, where his "front foot becomes my cane," and hear how his safety team and spotters help him navigate extreme waves with a whistle system. But at what point do these extreme sports become too risky with two kids at home?

In this conversation, we explore:
Navigating Identity and Insecurity
✅ Fear and Risk in Extreme Sports
✅ Love Beyond Sight
✅ Breaking Barriers at Bedtime
✅ Macular Degeneration
