BIO:
I stood up first time on my Dads Surfboard when I was around 8 years old, I was so stoked and I knew I was gonna do this for the rest of my life. I was a naturally talented surfer. My dad is also a surfer so I think he gave me the gift haha. I did a few comps when I was a teenager but kinda liked doing my own thing,I left South Africa at the age of 19 and immigrated to Newquay in the UK and been living there ever since,I have also been doing a lot of travelling around the world going on surf trips and surfed a lot of great waves! I have been doing all the comps this year on the British tour, haven't got any major results yet as it is my first year committed to competing and I'm always learning how to do better and what to improve, I know I have the talent!
