How did you first get into surfing? What about the sport hooked you and made you want to pursue it?

I had a friend with a dusty old longboard in the garage and one sunny day I convinced him that it was a good idea to take it to the beach for me to try surfing. I was hooked from my first wave.

If you had to describe your personal surfing style in just a few words, what would it be? What aspects of your approach set you apart?

Grace , flow and style. (with a lot of plops in between 🤣)

 

What does it mean to you to represent JBay Fin Design?

It’s an honor to be a part of a family of ocean lovers who all surf with such incredible style and live their lives with integrity and know how to have lots of fun.

What does the JBay Fin Design’s motto "Not just a fin, it's a feeling" mean to you?

Surfing in general isn’t just about your equipment, it’s about the joy the ocean brings and what surfing does for the soul.

Which fins do you ride and how do the fins you ride shape your overall experience in the water? Also, include which dimension surfboards you pair the fins with.

My go to is the Albatross V1 which I ride in the natural curve 9’0 lady log . It’s a great fin which helps lock my board into the perfect perches.

Outside of surfing, what are some of your other passions and hobbies?

I also love taking the family on hikes . I love finding waterfalls and mountain adventures.  I also love spending my quiet time doodling .

If you had to choose one, what would be your single greatest accomplishment or proudest moment as a surfer?

This would be surfing with my kids . They are the most proudest and most memorable surfing accomplishment. Sharing waves and the ocean with your family is truly something special .

Describe your earliest memories of riding your first surfboard. What was that experience like for you?

I saved up for 3 months to buy a second hand Pumamanzi longboard. It cost me a whole R400 which was a lot back in those days . I feel like I’m becoming one of those longboarders now 🤣 anyway I loooved that board  it had blue stripes and colourful hibiscus as all girl boards had back in the early 2000’s  . I cried like a baby the first time I dinged it. 🤣
