I grew up in Seoul, where I didn’t have much exposure to the sea, only visiting it once a year.

In August 2013, at 31 years old, I tried surfing for the first time during summer vacation. Since then, I’ve been surfing every weekend, traveling between Seoul and Yangyang. Eventually, my love for surfing led me to move to Yangyang, a coastal town, in 2017.

Through hard work and dedication, I became a national surfing representative at 41. It’s a huge honor to be the first longboard national representative of South Korea.

Despite Korea being surrounded by the sea, waves aren’t always consistent. This can be a tough challenge for surfers. Nevertheless, with the help of many people, I’ve reached this point.

I’m deeply thankful to everyone who supported me on this journey.
