How did you get into surfing?
When I was about 9, I think, but I remember having a boogie board way before that. I started surfing with my old man and then with mates. Did a lot of surf lifesaving as a kid.
Why did you become a surf instructor?
As a kid, because I knew I wanted to travel and surf in winter and work outdoors and surf in summer, it seemed like the ideal lifestyle. The best part of being an instructor is when a customer really understands what you’ve explained to them, they start to see the results and how stoked they get.
Why do you work at Surfing Croyde Bay?
I put a lot into the company as a manager and basically can’t let it go haha. Also, free coffee, and Damo is a true gent.
We’re proud of the team we’ve built over the years. Thanks for everything you’ve done for SCB, Jake!👊
