Ben Underwood lost his eyes from cancer at 3 years old, but has developed the ability of using echolocation to do just about everything, from surfing to playing video games. It’s the same way dolphins navigate, using sounds and how they bounce off of nearby objects to find their way. Ben has developed this in a way no one else ever has and his story is amazing.

The first video is a summary, then I place the full documentary videos underneath. It will inspire you, and make you think twice before you say “I can’t do that…”
