World Champion Quadriplegic Surfer, Jesse Billauer, Shares His Love of Surfing with Others at National Events

Jesse Billauer was one of the top 100 junior surfers in the world when a paralyzing accident rendered him quadriplegic. He came back stronger than ever, creating a big life for himself and countless others living with paralysis.

Surfing caused the injury that nearly cost Jesse his life. Even so, he recovered and eventually returned to the sport he loved. Collaborating with surf companies, he pioneered the industry of adaptive surf equipment and made his way back to the waves.

In 2015, he won gold for Team USA, becoming the first-ever World Champion of Adaptive Surfing. In 2016, he earned a spot among the seven most inspirational and influential surfers on the planet.

Jesse began a career in motivational speaking. He has keynoted hundreds of events, ranging from global corporations to elementary schools. He started the Life Rolls On Foundation, which hosts skate and surf events year-round across the country. It continues to help thousands of adults and children find new freedom with their wheels or on the waves.

He’s the proud owner of a BraunAbility MXV. You can see it at every Life Rolls On event around the country. In 2015, BraunAbility received the Life Rolls On Freedom Award. This award honors our company’s dedication to bringing freedom to the disability community.

In the words of Jesse, “Just remember this … your power is in your perspective, not your circumstance. No matter what you’re going through, I’m here to tell you, you got this.”
