Austin

About Austin:

As a youngster, I enjoyed all sports from baseball, basketball, mountain biking, skating, snowboarding, and encouraged by my dad, surfing. I was stoked riding my first wave, a wipeout, but that ride fueled my desire to continue to learn and to become the best you can. I grew up with a sense of determination to make a career as a professional athlete. I chose Surfing as my sport.

I pursued surfing to the highest levels of competition and I traveled around the world for contests and photo shoots. World travel helped me understand and embrace diverse cultures, and a pension for organization. While on tour I continued to enroll in online college courses to keep learning. As with all athletes, competitive professional surfing gave way to injuries and age. However, planning ahead, I completed my college studies obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Sydney. With my diverse background, AWARE coaching will prepare you to become the best you can through the mental and physical layers of surfing.
