About Luke Thompson
My name is Luke Thompson, I've been surfing since I was 10 years old and I'm so grateful for everything surfing has provided for me. My best memory in surfing has to be competing in JBay as a wildcard in the CT. Ever since I could remember I've dreamed of competing in the Jbay CT and rub shoulders with people I've been looking up to my whole life. To feel that energy and that support from the South African crowd was a feeling i'll never forget. What id love to achieve in surfing is to be able to surf until I'm 70 and to love it as much as the first time I ever stood up, and I'd love to qualify for the CT and compete with the best.
