How is he doing 5 years after the tragic accident? I watched some videos with him, Inspiring man for the sport. I hope he is recovering well

I have not seen JK in about three years and I hope he continues to recover. I rode with him in Oside a few times waay back in the day. He is still a champion.

No his sight unfortunatly has not. But Joe could ride a ski blindfolded

I know he is a surf legend, but nothing else...can someone just outline his connection to jet skiing? What accidient did he have? Was it during riding?

That's sick height! I've only seen a couple videos of him, such a talented rider. It's a shame what happened to him.

I have all the old movies on DVD and still watch them from time to time. When it came to surf, Joe was always one of my favorites and I still remember getting my copy of Splash magazine with him on the cover with the Blue Bomber superjet. Such a badass combination.

Someone blindsided him with a punch or kick which put him on the ground and he hit his head in the fall which caused some serious damage including near blindness.

He did all that awesome riding on a reinforced stock hull and a very mild engine, none of that aftermarket stuff needed.

none of that aftermarket stuff needed.

And who would need it with the size of the waves he rode...

I don't think anyone will go as big as Joe went. An overall super nice guy, and still has great spirits for such a lame thing that was done to him. So glad to hear he was up in SB this weekend.

Im lucky to meet the man this weekend in s.b he tried to ride for the first time on stanton highs boat. But after a few minuts it was just too hard for him to see/read the waves from what i understand

Randy (Laine) who was also there on that trip, told me the photographers got a lot of footage but they are surfing magazine backed so they don't want to publish it because they don't want us (jetski surf riders) to get any glory/publicity. They want all the glory to go to the big wave tow surfers

that last backflip is incredible. and i'm not even a backflip fan.

it looks like he travels back toward the beach while in the air.
