Evan Geiselman is alive and well.

He survived a near-drowning experience, and he is ready to open a new chapter in his life. At least physically.

On the dramatic day of his wipeout at Pipeline, he didn't even think of paddling out. But he did. What seemed to be a perfect Pipe wave turned into a nightmare.

A closeout bomb exploded, and Geiselman was found unconscious by Andre Botha. Today, our man feels overwhelmed. And all he wants is to enjoy life. It's "A 7 Mile Miracle."

We love you, Evan Geiselman.
