Kobi Graham is believed to have approached magazines to sell the story of his recent surfing accident.
The Bondi Rescue lifeguard, who broke his neck last week after smashing into a reef while surfing in Sydney, has reportedly been offered $20,000 (£11,300) by Woman’s Day magazine to tell all about the incident.
Graham is said to be hoping that the deal will help keep him financially stable during his predicted six-month recovery period.
He underwent surgery at a North Sydney hospital after cracking two vertebrae and is expected to make a full recovery.
