There are friendships… and then there are the ones built in heavy water.
and I didn’t just become friends surfing Todos, we grew there. Through early mornings, long drives, missed waves, big wins, and a few moments where the ocean reminded us how small we really are. Todos has a way of testing you, and when you go through those tests with someone, it builds something deeper than just surf sessions. It builds trust.
Over the years, we’ve pushed each other, learned from each other, and slowly turned from two surfers chasing waves into a real team chasing progression, safety, and growth. Having someone in the lineup who understands your goals, your fears, and your drive… that’s rare.
Now watching Christian step into the Thrillers at Killers event hits different. I’ve seen the work when nobody was watching. The wipeouts. The doubts. The commitment. The love for this sport that keeps us paddling back out no matter what.
Proud is an understatement. Watching a brother chase his moment in waves like that is inspiring and reminds me why we do this in the first place.
This journey isn’t just about waves… it’s about the people who paddle beside you.
Let’s go, brother 🤝🌊
