Last year, the rising local star traveled the West Coast with Amandla Surf Foundation.

Simo recently had a major setback, breaking his leg in two places.

Nicolette Tilley, who is assisting Simo during this difficult period, reported back that he is “doing well, considering” and was going for a check-up this week.
