About Chris

Chris Blowes is a down to earth bloke who knows what it takes to get up everyday with a lifechanging disability and put his work boots on.

Left as an above knee amputee from a shark attack, Chris’s future on the tools looked doubtful. But Chris wasn’t going to let his newfound disability prevent him from doing the things he loved - including surfing.

Chris shares a love for the outdoors, but particularly the coastline. These days you will find him running his successful building company, but in his spare time he is like any avid surfer -hunting for the best waves.

Disability advocate, Australian Para Surf Champion, Co-author of the book Caught Inside and Keynote Speaker, Chris showcases how returning to work after trauma not only gave him purpose, but allowed him to fin joy and happiness is a job that he was truly passionate about.

Chris and his wife Chloe currently live in Adelaide with their children.

Chris certainly has quite a story to tell and its one you will definitely want to hear.
