TESTIMONIAL

I first started paddling on an old club ski and it took a good 6 weeks to be able to stay in my ski without falling out when I started to paddle. I then upgraded to a better ski that was given to me, which was better than my other one. It was still very heavy and didn't go through the water nicely. I was then given a BOS ski by a very generous family. I then began to paddle the ski and I was in love. It cut through the water so nicely and I didn't feel any weight when I would punch through a wave. Reece then offered me to be a team BOS paddler and I haven’t looked back. He has been so good through the whole process and I'm forever grateful for this opportunity

I love spending time in the ocean whether it be surfing, catching waves on my board, body surfing and being on my ski.

My journey in Surf Lifesaving began when my mum put me in a pool and taught me to swim, ensuring I was safe at the beach. I started nippers at under 8’s and have loved it ever since. I was lucky to have an amazing age group and one of the best age managers who supported us throughout. Being part of such an incredible group made me love the sport even more. I have the best support crew being a part of Woolgoolga Surf Life Saving Club. Outside of sport, I am still in school, so studying does take up a big part of my time. When I do have time, I do love being out in the ocean and surfing.
