How long have you been surfing?

I have been surfing for about 4 years now. I live and compete in Southern California. My favorite hobby outside surfing is definitely fishing with my friends! I listen to a lot of different music but mostly surf rock and rap, my favorites right now are probably “Margarita” by “Skeggs” and “I know” by “Travis Scott”. Last but not least, my favorite surfer is Griffin Colapinto, his surfing looks so smooth but still snappy and quick. I hope that I can surf at his level one day!
