"I've been using CTi knee braces for about 5 snow seasons and there is just no other product out there that would allow me to be competitive in such a high impact sport! With no functioning knee ligaments and a knee prone to hyper extension and dislocation, CTi braces are the most trustworthy I’ve have ever used. There is no other product out there that can give me the same quality and quantity of time on snow. CTi knee braces play a huge role in preventing injuries on and off snow - whether it’s going to the gym or hitting the features while I race, it’s always got my back." - Joany Badenhorst

Sam grew up on Phillip Island, VIC, surrounded by beautiful surf beaches. At the age of 14, Sam caught his first wave and knew after that moment that he would be hooked for life. In 2010, Sam relocated to Warrnambool in Far West Victoria after finishing his building trade. Warrnambool has been a huge playground for him to push his big wave surfing skills. Due to this full-speed thrill seeking attitude, Sam has sustained multiple injuries to his right knee, leaving him with no confidence when surfing. Since teaming up with Össur, Sam is now wearing a custom-fit CTi knee brace, which has restored his confidence above and beyond. Sam is passionate about living sustainably, growing food and creating a future that gives back, with future goals to build a net zero home and live off-grid. He hopes to grow food sustainably, keep pushing the big wave limits and inspiring others to follow their dreams. Sam's motto in life is to "be honest and truthful to what aligns with you, this is the key to a fulfilled life".
