Surfing Against Odds and Defying Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

10-year-old Harper Ahern is a keen surfer, curry connoisseur, and budding DJ star. At age four, Harper was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - a degenerative condition. Over the years, his condition has progressed to the point where he now uses a power wheelchair full time. Living on the Kapiti Coast with his family means that the ocean is right on his doorstep, so he doesn’t have to travel far to connect with Tangaroa and recharge his batteries. However, as Harper’s strength and mobility decreases, his family are looking for ways to bring the water to him and keep that connection alive.
