Ben has been a member of the West Beach Surf Lifesaving Club since he was 6 years old. Growing up he always loved how unpredictable surf races could be with all the external influences like waves and weather.

Round Two of the Surf Sport Series is set to kick off tomorrow morning at Chiton Rocks with SA Athletes thrashing it out to gain vital points towards the series title.

Athletes are preparing for the notorious swell a South Coast Beach brings, with many waxing up their craft.
