I have been surfing since the age of nine, first learning to surf here at Westward Ho! Almost 15 years ago. Since then surfing has been my biggest passion. During English summer time however I have always worked in surf schools in North Devon, working my way up from full time wetsuit washer at the age of 14 to fully a qualified RLLSS beach lifeguard and a BSA qualified surf coach. Entering into the 2019 season, this will be my 10th consecutive year working in surf schools.
