My name is Noah, Im 17 years old.I grew up in southern Spain until the age of 10 when I moved to California, thats when I started surfing. Since then I've been doing as much as I can, love it more as I get better. I used to be a competive rock climber, but I let that go to really pursue surfing. I love art and anything around art, photography, drawing, writing etc.. I'm super happy to be participating in such an awesome contest and with such a huge opportunity.
