Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but has learnt to play football, swim and even surf.
The 26-year old is mainly torso but has a small foot on his left hip which helps him balance and enables him to kick.
Mr Vujicic uses his single foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes.
He claims that his lack of limbs is something of a benefit in the water because it means he has more flotation and can use his foot as a "propeller".
And during a trip to Hawaii in 2008, he learnt to surf with help from professional surfer Bethany Hamilton, who had her arm bitten off by a shark when she was 12.
His ability to pull off 360 degree spins on his board got him on the front cover of Surfer magazine.
Mr Vujicic is now a motivational speaker and has travelled to over 24 countries speaking to groups of up to 110,000 people.
In 1990 he won the Australian Young Citizen of the Year award for his bravery and perseverance.
