I’m a surfer from Durban, South Africa my home break being Umdloti Beach. I’m passionate about the ocean, I have surfed and done lifesaving since a young age and I also play waterpolo for my province. My highlight as a surfer has definitely been 3rd in u18 at SA junior championships in 2022 and the u18 KZN champion in 2022 when I was still u17. I think what is different with me is the balance I have to have with my different sports especially surfing and playing polo at a higher level so when I get to attend comps and it doesn’t clash with other sports I take full advantage of it and it pushes me to work even harder and the same goes for training I have to fit in training for both sports each day and remaining passionate for the sport is vital it’s what gets you through those long hours. Since young I’ve always been a firm believer in hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard and I live by this!
