My hug in a wheelchair , theres a disconnect. I get heart to heart hugs when i stand up. Reporter do you promise me a standing hug . Yes. Reporter okay. Amanda took her first steps towards making that dream a reality in 2010. Thats when she got a call from the robots creators, asking her to be a test pilot for new technology, she travelled to headquarters in the San Francisco area and took it for a test run. How did it feel to stand and look at people . The first time i stood up i went home and i cried hard, in all honesty. These were emotions that i had been dreaming about. I felt so good in my body.

Theyre all part of surf haiti, an ambitious project aimed at bringing tourists and their money to the beaches. Joan mamique who runs the camp says surfing here is about more than just catching waves. Samson jules, who was one of the first boys to learn to surf here, tells us the project has the potential to change the lives of his entire community. The passion from these young haitians is unmistakable and its the chance to be part of the lives of people like samson that organizers hope will draw surfers to these waves and ultimately help tourism grow. I would love for there to be a haitian representation in the International Surfing circuit. Professional. I would, really, really cause then once they announce yeah, this kid is from haiti and hes out there ripping it, then all of a sudden people go haiti. Surfing and a whole industry kind of pays attention. Surf haiti remains for now a small project with few customers. With waves like this, its hoped that will soon change.
