I am a professional surfer from Cape Town, South Africa, currently competing on the World Surf League (WSL) Challenger Series, while also pursuing and documenting some of the best waves across South Africa and internationally.
Alongside competition surfing, I have built a strong focus around premium surf media, storytelling, and authentic brand-driven content. Over the past few years, I have featured in acclaimed surf films including Kelp Town and Sardine Run by NowNow Media, while continuing to grow my own social media and YouTube platforms through consistent, high-quality content.
My competitive highlights include winning the Ballito Pro WSL QS5000 against Jordy Smith, along with a string of strong performances in both local and international events.

I have also developed and released a range of personal surf projects and films, including Ascension, which has generated more than 143,000 views, and Elevate, documenting surf travel and experiences at world-class destinations such as Jeffreys Bay.
More recently, I launched a new film series titled ‘Sessions’ - a cinematic, surf-focused project documenting strike missions, heavy waves, travel, lifestyle, and competition experiences, while naturally integrating the brands that support me into authentic storytelling and premium visual content.
I pride myself on bringing a unique combination of high-level competitive surfing, freesurf exploration, cinematic content creation, and strong audience engagement to the brands I partner with.
