Bogart the Explorer gives update on right leg after surfing accident

Three months after his “freak surfing accident,” YouTube star Bogart the Explorer (Marco Ho in real life) is back on the board, a skateboard that is.

In a video posted on Instagram today, Marco shared a clip of himself enjoying life as he skateboards in his neighborhood.

He said, “As it's only been 3 months since the accident, I still can't walk properly so mobility is still a bit of a problem for me. But, the wide-open roads of the province coupled with my trusty electric skateboard means I can go anywhere with ease.

“The carving motions flex and twist my leg muscles and joints which makes for great stretching therapy while the cool, fresh air and calm surroundings are therapeutic for the soul. Plus, it's great re-training for when I get back on that surfboard.”

“Oh yes, I'm going to surf again. I'm not going to quit. Not even a near-fatal experience is gonna stop me from going back surfing. You know what they say, what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.”

In the comments section, fans were both happy and worried about the social media star.

One netizen asked, “Giata. Wa ka na-trauma?”

Marco replied, “A wise man once said: Find something you love and let it kill you.”

It was reported on March 3, 2020, that Marco was involved in a surfing accident that led to a final diagnosis of a “soft tissue defect popliteal area with transection gastrocnemius with soleus muscle right secondary to fall.”

Marco claimed that the accident left a deep cut on his right leg that led him to lose a ton of blood and meat.

“The main vein in my right leg was cut but missed my main artery by 1cm. I will be needing multiple operations of reconstructive surgery and skin grafting, blood transfusions and physical therapy to be able to walk again.”
