Against the Water: A surfing champion's inspirational journey to Olympic glory
The gut-wrenching story of how one of Australia’s finest surfers overcame a brain injury and despair to win an Olympic medal.
On the morning of 10 December 2015, Owen Wright entered the water at Pipeline, Hawaii, determined to become a world champion. But after being pounded by a set of monstrous waves, he ended up fighting for life and facing extensive brain trauma. In this inspirational memoir, Wright chronicles the events leading up to that fateful day, as well as the months and years that followed as he battled to regain basic functioning, and eventually the capacity to compete again at the apex of surfing.
