I started surfing in 2018, I met Benjamin Clifford whilst working as a lifeguard, he approached me and asked if I had ever surfed or considered surfing. I had only previously surfed once on a school trip when I was 13 and as supportive as my dad usually is he wasn't up for carrying boards across the sand and standing in the cold on a regular basis. Ben then told me all about Surfability and encouraged me to come down and try it out. I was hooked immediately and luckily I have very strong friends, Ryan Evans (Evzo), Matt Willaims (Pongo) and Jack Smith, who carry my board as well as their own and help me feel like a regular surfer going surfing with their friends, without all this support from all of Surfability and my friends I wouldn't be able to get in the sea so I would like to thank them all very much! I would also like to thank Penyrheol Comprehensive School for giving me the time off work to compete and to all the staff and pupils who wished me luck!
