Tim Baker was born in 1962 in Sydney, Australia. He was a natural athlete, and he loved surfing. He started surfing when he was just 10 years old, and he quickly became one of the best surfers in his age group. In 1985, when he was 23 years old, Tim was surfing at a beach in Sydney when he was struck by a wave and broke his neck. The accident left him paralyzed from the chest down.

Tim was devastated by the accident. He had always dreamed of becoming a professional surfer, and now that dream was gone. He also worried about how he would be able to live his life with a disability. But Tim was determined not to let his paralysis define him. He refused to give up on his dreams, and he set out to prove that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
