Waves are without a doubt the most fascinating shape/form that the earth has to offer a surfer. When the elements align, a point break’s mechanical perfection will capture our complete, awe-inspired attention. Well, this wave assassin has taken his love for the shape of things and incorporated it into his everyday life, studying architecture – when he’s not riding the foamball and about to get spat out of another pit at Llands, that is.
