What got you hooked on surfing?

An inner love of the ocean, keeping fit, having fun and an adventurous spirit made surfing something I love to do.

What’s the best thing about working at a surf school?

The best thing about being a surf coach is ‘changing lives one wave at a time’ To be part of someone’s journey to help them overcome a fear of the ocean, help them catch a wave, stand up or become a surfer makes me feel good.

What’s one tip you always give new surfers?

Lower your expectations and enjoy the ride…. (Literally) take the pressure off and have some fun.
