Kenya’s amputee surfing team—the *Ocean Warriors*—won gold in PR2 men’s at the 2025 Africa Adaptive Surfing Champs in Durban on October 19, 2025. Using custom prosthetics and voice-coached waves, David Omondi rode an 8ft swell for 22 seconds. The ocean doesn’t ask how you stand—only that you rise, he said. Training at Diani, the team now has 5 members. Safaricom pledged KSh 35 million. Kenya qualifies for the 2026 World Para Surf Champs.
