Shaun Tomson

Tomson recalls a specific day after the tragic loss of his son: “It was a beautiful beach and I’m paddling out and I’m crying, just crying. The remarkable thing is that sea water and tears have the same amount of salt” Tomson says, his eyes red. ‘The water just washed over me.” At that moment, he felt the ocean draw him in and lift him up and he recalled thinking once again to one of the rules he set for himself earlier in life: “I will always paddle back out”.
Shaun Tomson released a new book “Surfer’s Code: 12 simple lessons for riding through life” adding an epilogue dedicated to his son.
