As a former surfer, I am sure that it will inspire him to get through therapy, learn to use that prosthetic leg, and learn to surf again.
Be sure to include some pix/stories of others who have made the journey back:
Also include the inspirational story of Natalie du Toit of South Africa, who qualified for the Beijing Olympics despite losing her leg in a motorcycle accident:
Here is Natalie's story
Tell your friend that people who don't even know him, wish him well, and that they hope he will be back on a surfboard communing with the waves again soon...

I got to meet Bethany Hamilton once, She's the young surfer girl that got her arm bit off by a Tiger shark while surfing at home in Hawaii. She modified her surfboard and went back to surfing. She is truly inspirational. I have pictures and video of her but didn't get to see her surf as the waves were flat. I could add some of that to a DVD but again, when is it the right time to introduce something like that. Now or 7 months when he's ready for his fitting.
I'm thinking the right answer can only come from a psychologist or therapist but I truly appreciate the feedback offered here
