Incredible week of surfing for @kai_colless at the last stop of this years @adaptivesurfingprofessionals Professional Para Surfing World Tour in Oceanside California. With great surf all week, mates from all over the world and 2 perfect 10 point rides it really couldn’t have been much better other than that he was able to celebrate his World Championship win alongside 6 of his fellow Australian mates who each won their divisions! 🇦🇺
