Surf-Experience
Tom started surfing in South Africa in 2005. After spending a semester in Australia it became obvious that life as a teacher in Switzerland was out of the question. He completed the Surf Instructor Course and worked in surfschools in France, Portugal and Indonesia. The opportunity of combining his passions for surfing and teaching has fascinated him ever since. To him there is no better feeling than hearing the screams of joy coming from students surfing the first waves of their lives.

Favorite Food
Swiss Rösti, Raclette, spearfished fish, flame grilled steak and all kinds of candy

Hobbies other than surfing
Wind- and Kitesurfing, Wakeboarding, Tennis, Football, Skiing, Snowboarding, Traveling

My perfect day
Coffee, surf lessons with happy students, surfing punchy, long waves for powerful cutbacks, delicious tapas at “Asturiano”, having a cold beer and hanging out with fun people

What I like most about the WAVEROCKER Camp
The view over waves and ocean does not cease to blow me away every time I see it
