I surf because I can’t live without it. I can’t quite relax until I’ve had some waves, food and a siesta. After arriving in Sydney in June 2014 I quickly searched for a job where I could work with passion. I found it in LGS, emailed Marty and from there it all happened.

When I was younger, I dreamed about becoming an Orca trainer – these days I’m happy being free. Each lesson I look forward to converting students into lifelong surfers. My ideal conditions are 4-6ft, offshore breeze, sunset and a couple mates in the water.
