Damien LeRoy is a professional kiteboarder, paraglider, stuntman, and athlete. Not to mentioned a world renowned teacher. Last year he had a terrifying crash where he fell over 150 feet from the air into a forest of mangrove trees and broke his leg, ribs, punctured a lung, among other injuries. He could have easily died, but ten months later he’s almost completely recovered and back on his board.
Damien shares his story with me and talks about what was going through his head while his lines were tangled and he began to spin out of control in the air. He also talks about his unique upbringing (dad was in James Bond movies and he was a pro skier and lived in the mountains for many years). He also shares about working on the new Baywatch movie with the Rock and Zach Efron, how his approach to kiteboarding has changed since his accident, what it’s like to be a professional athlete, what he always takes on the road, and why he strives to be positive 100 percent of the time.
