Floating: The Nathan Gocke Story is a poignant documentary film about a quadriplegic surfer who survived a tragedy of the elements, his courage to embrace a new existence and his dream to one day surf again. It's an inspirational story of hope, humanity and rehabilitation. The soundtrack is available now on Deep Elm Records.
March 29th, 2008 started off like every other Saturday for thirty-two year old surfer Nathan Gocke. But it was a day his life would change forever as a surf accident left him paralyzed from the chest down. A quadriplegic, with enough feeling in his arms to enter an intensive rehabilitation program, Nathan did not dwell on his accident but instead looked to the future. His increasing strength, along with pivotal encounters with key individuals along the way, helped crystallize one simple thought in Nathan's mind...that one day he would surf again.
