Sam Bloom Biography

Samantha "Sam" Bloom is an Australian, insightful keynote speaker, bestselling author, and four-time World Para Surfing champion (2018, 2020, 2022, 2023). Her life forever changed in 2013 after a six-meter fall from a balcony in Thailand left her paralyzed from the chest down. After a grueling seven-month rehab process, she was overcome with depression. Her story of resilience, inspired by her bond with an injured magpie named Penguin, gave her a semblance of new purpose, and is captured in the bestselling book “Penguin Bloom” (2016) and its 2021 Netflix film adaptation starring Naomi Watts.
