Where It All Started

I always loved being in and around the water. for me it was my outlet so it was natural to get involved in swimming and Surf Lifesaving as I have a competitive nature

The Journey Nobody Sees

I moved to the GC straight after school and after 1 offseason I knew that Surf was the sport I wanted to commit to. over the last couple years I've faced many forms of adversity and injury including a broken neck late 2025. However there was never a point where I lost my passion for the sport and if anything I'm more motivated now than ever.

Your Greatest Moments

My highlights to date would be being selected in the NZ junior worlds team as well as taking out the Open surf race at the 2025 International Surf Rescue Championships

Beyond the Sport

Like any clubbie most of my free time is spent in and around the ocean, surfing swimming etc. However I love filming and creating content whether that's for myself or friends and it's something I'm especially passionate about.
