Who are we?
As big wave surfers, we’ve dedicated our lives to mastering mental and physiological resilience. We’ve learned invaluable lessons from our surf careers and all the mentors we’ve had the chance to learn from. We’re excited to share this wisdom, empowering others to step into their power and confidence when it matters most.
ABOUT LAURA
Laura’s surf career started at the tender age of 12. At 14, she became British surf Champion. Although an amazing time in her life, pursuing waves globally, there were also some very difficult moments being a young female athlete. Laura talks openly about her experiences and has become a mentor to other female athletes navigating their careers, advocating for them and women more broadly in the industry.
She is the first female British surfer, and only one of four women ever, to qualify for the World Surf League Big Wave event in Nazaré. Laura and Charlie are the first brother and sister duo to tow in big waves.
Laura is often described as kind and approachable, and loves to ensure everyone feels included. She specializes in, and talks on, building mental resilience and using fear as a tool, assisting others to build confidence, maintain focus, and step into their power (whether in the boardroom or in the lineup).
ABOUT charlie
Charlie has worked incredibly hard to get himself from the building site to focus on the two things he loves most; big wave surfing, and coaching others to level-up their own surfing.
He spends his winter months in Nazaré, training with sister Laura, as the first brother-sister duo in line-up. Although Charlie didn’t start his career in surfing, he is an incredibly talented surfer, and has spent years crafting a plethora of surf coaching tools (wave reading and analysis, body awareness and technique forming, strength and mobility drills to ensure the body can perform at it’s best.)
Charlie is an advocate for men’s mental health, following tough teenage years, and delivers inspirational keynotes at schools and wellness events where he talks about his story, the power of goal-setting, and how athleticism, endurance challenges and other big dreams can be live-changing.
