Chris Blowes

Chris Blowes is living proof that with the right mindset anything is possible.

On Anzac Day 2015 Chris was surfing when he was attacked by a great white shark. Chris had lost a leg, his heart had stopped and he was bleeding out at the bottom of a cliff 35 kilometres from the nearest country hospital on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia and a further 600 kilometres to the nearest trauma centre in Adelaide. The odds were definitely stacked in the shark’s favour.

As an above knee amputee, learning to walk again was just the first step. Chris had other goals including getting back to work as a builder, but more importantly surfing. Chris demonstrates how limiting mindsets can be preventing us from reaching our full potential and how true growth ultimately lies in pushing your boundaries and stepping outside of your comfort zone.

Australian Para Surf Champion, Co-author of the book Caught Inside and keynote speaker Chris will have you on the edge of your seat as he shares how he overcame adversity to find purpose in his trauma. His story will show you how through struggle and hardship there can be growth and learning and how with the right mindset there can be so much to gain if you can make it through moments of adversity and discomfort.

Chris Blowes is now a popular keynote speaker where he presents to conferences, workshops, community events, expos, intimate gatherings, Q and A’s and schools.
