Noah Lane - pro surfer sponsored by The Perfect Wave

The career of an accountant is very different to that of a pro surfer. One consists of crunching numbers in an office, the other travelling the world to compete in the most idyllic locations.
21-year-old Gold Coast local Noah Lane is currently studying accounting but at the same time surfing his butt off for the best result in the WQS.  Imagine how hard it is studyng accounting - and imagine how hard it is trying to get on the circuit - and Noah is doing it both!

After a promising junior career, Noah was left to think about his future.
"Finishing the juniors is kind of like finishing school, you're kind of left feeling like ‘where to next'.
I've been working and toughing it out as a full time student. There are a lot of talented guys out there who just can't afford to travel and compete.  It's very expensive to do the WQS, you really need a major sponsor to back you."
The Perfect Wave helps Noah out with discounted flights and marketing incentives - but he is talented enough to warrant a major sponsor - just waiting for the offer!

Update number 2 from our sponsored surfer Bijou Busse from Hawaii!

Sunday 28th of Nov saw small surf here on the north shore.. But when your in such an incredible place, surrounded by your best mates, you know that your in for some fun. Regardless of the conditions! 

My friends Rosy Hodge, Nikita Robb (womens WCT surfers), Sacha Specker (Professional photog/video-og from ZAF) & I spent the day out and about. 

In the morning, visiting the local Haleiwa markets to pick up some fresh produce! Then in the afternoon we hit Off The Wall, getting creative. We rode fun boards, boogie boards, body surfed & swam with turtles!!! 

Then Wrapped it up with a beautiful sunset & glass of wine!

The swell looks like its on the rise over the next couple of days, so stay tuned for whats next!!

Update for our sponsored surfer Bijou Busse from Hawaii!

Just a Quick up date.. Life on the rock is amazing! Am surrounded by great friends and epic waves! The swell has been consistent and pumping! The surfing highlight so far was three days ago; a solid Hawaiian 8ft+ swell arrived. The whole strip was firing. I spent the entire day out at Pipeline. Waves surging through from the second reef, it was LARGE to say the least. I caught some memorable waves, even copped a 3 wave second reef set on the head! That single experience has had a really positive impact.

Also must pass on that all my besties (Guys and girls from the tour) have been asking about The Perfect Wave.

Anyway its time for breaky & to get out for a surf!

Hope all is well, be in touch soon!!

Cheers

Bijou

The Perfect Wave Travel Co has fast become a leader in the surf travel industry.  Their ever increasing database of repeat and referral clients is testament to this fact.
