Other information
I have a keen sense of adventure, a good sense of humor and a deep love for the ocean. I love finding uncrowded quality surf in remote locations. I think it’s lekker to have good vibes in the water.
Jason, once again, thanks for the great suture job at Maccas! Can´t even tell i had an incident. Hope all is well and Ghana is treating you right! Mark and Bunny
