I'm an amateur surfer who loves nothing more than catching waves and feeling the rush of the ocean. I've been surfing for a few years now and am always looking for new spots to explore. I'm still learning and improving my technique, but I have a blast every time I hit the water. Whether it's a small day or a big swell, I'm always down to paddle out and ride the waves.
