I am 18 years old and born and raised in Florida. My mother is originally from Germany, therefore, I have a German passport and surf under the German flag. I have 2 sisters, an older and a younger, and a family that supports me in every way possible. I have been traveling the world since I was 11 years old and have been to over 25 countries. I feel so blessed to have this life and wouldn't want to be doing anything else.

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.
