Paraplegic mom goes duct-taped surfing

Pascale Honore was in a car accident 18 years ago, that left the 50 year old a paraplegic, but this has not slowed her down whatsoever.

In order to ride the waves of the Australia's rugged West Coast, Pascale and her surfing partner Tyron Swan, 23, tell Adelaide Now how they have come up with a unique solution involving a roll of duct tape and a whole lot of courage.

Before she hits the water the 50-year-old Elliston mother slips herself into a backpack - "just a Kmart special", she says - with leg holes cut into the bottom. She's then lifted on to Ty's back before another helper is called in to wind the silver tape around the pair's shoulders, waists and legs. Then they go surfing.
