Not only is Jake a top WQS surfer, he snowboards and is currently doing a Masters degree! I started when I was 10. I don't really know how it started, but living in Cornwall helped, I probably saw people surfing while walking on the beach. I've got twin brothers who are 18 months older than me and they got boards first, and of course I then wanted one and that was the catalyst.
After Uni, I gave it a bit more of a shot again and then 18 months ago O'Neill came to me with a really good offer-that’s when the reality really dawned on me that I could make a living from surfing. I love surfing in G-land in Java, Indonesia., it's got to be my favourite place.
