SEPTEMBER 16, 2019by Janae Twisselman, Organizer From the family:A long over due update on Sunny. We are taking one day at a time and celebrating each little triumph. Sunny is a warrior and fighting everyday to get better and stronger. He has said a few words and is now in therapy daily- physical, speech and occupational. The family thanks you for your continued support for Sunny as he continues to heal. It’s going to be a marathon not a sprint but we work every day to make sure he is surrounded with love, laughter and ohana.
Sunny Garcia Update: ‘He Has Said a Few Words and Is Now In Therapy Daily’
During the last year, the surfing world has been following the plight of one of Hawaii’s most iconic power surfers, Sunny Garcia. In April, he tragically attempted suicide in the Pacific Northwest after a long battle with depression. He was rushed to a hospital in Portland. Something about Sunny’s personality and the way he rode waves (attacking them with an unrelenting style) resonated with the surf masses so when the news broke, the outpouring of love and support for Sunny was enormous.
Details remained thin, as per the family’s understandable wishes. Nearly a month later, he was moved to a hospital in California for surgery. Since then, there haven’t been any updates on his condition, but on Monday, one came from the GoFundMe campaign. It shed some light on how he’s faring and left a glimmer of hope for his recovery.
