Hobbies / Golf

I grew up in Cornwall in the Uk, alot people don't realise how good the waves can be and how beautiful it is.. my dad is also professional surfer Ben skinner, and my whole family surf even my dog. I used to skate but now I golf a lot as it's safer. My dad makes my surfboards in his factory in Newquay Skindog Surfboards. We work in designing boards together for the best possible board for me and alot of other groms in the uk. Slater designs also support me. I love travelling especially to escape the British winters however the wave can be good around the uk then.

I first learned to surf in Manly Beach, Australia when I was just four years old. I grew up competing in all kinds of sports, but around the age of ten, my surfing started to take center stage after my family and I moved to Bali, Indonesia. Around this time I started competing and since then my passion, determination, and drive have been focused on achieving my dreams in surfing. I’m so fortunate to represent England and have the support I do from my family and friends, and I’m excited to see where surfing will take me!
