This news story will have legs. Maybe this will continue the surfer’s leg-acy

If the kid took the surfer to court, said he was traumatised by the find, then the surfer wouldn't have a le... Actually not going to finish that.

Okay maybe use 'prosthetic leg' in the headline so that readers don't picture a gruesome scene of a 13 year old finding a body part while diving...
