RISE ABOVE

In January 2015 Damien Rider and his prone paddleboard began a marathon journey that he hoped would take him to the shores of Sydney’s Bondi Beach – a distance of 800 kilometres. For 17 days Damien was out there alone and battled with the elements, and against all odds, he made it to Bondi Beach. Extreme endurance events would be the vehicle that would help take his message of inspiration to the world. Damien has skateboarded 3,796 kilometres across Route 66 in the United States, run and paddled non stop around the Island of Phuket, ridden a 1950’s Rickshaw bicycle over 260 kilometres and pushed a 2-tonne vehicle for over 40 kilometres on Australia’s Gold Coast. When he’s not pushing his body to the limit, Damien is inspiring others through media campaigns, public education programs, school support projects and community health classes. All of these challenges are captured in this heartwarming documentary.
