KAWARTHA LAKES-Kevin Debnam was on vacation in Jamaica and thought he’d throw caution to the wind and give surfing a try. He never imagined his ill fated attempt would turn him into a Facebook sensation.
Kevin’s wife Kerri posted a couple videos of him trying out the Flow Rider in Jamaica and it went viral. The first video has had 2.3 million views and the second one is almost 300K and both are still going up. “I can’t check my Facebook notifications because it’s blowing up with friend requests, comments and shares of the videos.” Kerri told Kawartha 411.The number of views is insane!” she says.
Kerri says she initially just posted the videos for the benefit of our friends. “I was posting videos of my daughter and niece on it and people were joking that they wanted to see us give it a try. I gave them what they wanted and it took off from there.”
The posts are bing shared all over the world with comments in many different languages. Not only has Kevin become very popular so has Kerri. “I’m getting friend requests every minute!” she says.
Here are the videos. Check it out:
