Surfing legend Sunny Garcia is speaking to family after finally waking from a coma, five months after he was found unconscious in his Oregon home after what was reported as an attempt to take his own life.
His daughter Kaila posted to Instagram that her father was out of his coma and speaking again but that he was in for a long journey to recovery.
"A long over due update on my dad. We are taking one day at a time and celebrating each little triumph. My dad is a warrior and fighting everyday to get better and stronger," she wrote.
"He has said a few words and is now in therapy daily physical, speech and occupational.
My family and I thank you for your continued support for My dad as he continues to heal. It's going to be a marathon not a sprint but we work every day to make sure he is surrounded with love, laughter and ohana."
