ABOUT
Poseidon was a Greek God ruling the seas and water, so I felt it fitting that selling 'gear the Gods would ride', would be my business name and motto.
After many different roles in over 20+ years working in the surf and skate industry, opening 20+ stores for PSC Skateboarding, (now Fast Times), working for Globe International, Peninsula Surf, Oke Surfboards, Osmosis, Balin and SHQ Boardsports, I felt it time to venture out on my own.
As an avid water sports enthusiast, I've been able to combine my passions of surf and now winds sports, into an online business and lifestyle. I've worked hard over the years to combine a love of the sports I do, with great product knowledge and customer service. There's nothing better than getting people on the right, high quality gear for them, to improve their performance and riding experience.
I've also been able to combine my double degree in Health Science and Physical education, Secondary, with over 10 years in the Health and Wellness field, assisting people with their training and nutrition to achieve their physical goals and my love of surfing and performance movement. This background and ability to coach/teach, love of travel and chasing waves, has led me, after many years of chasing this dream, to work for Moon Tours, initially taking SUP surf tours in Fiji, but now recently in the Maldives with both surf and foil trips.

My other passion and venture has been to take my love of surfing and travel, combine it with my knowledge of health and wellness and give back to the community, especially those that I travel in. I first came across Disabled surf association 10 years ago and have volunteered ever since. I also took these skills learnt from DSA and set up the first Disabled surf day in Bali, taking physically disadvantaged orphans and giving them the opportunity to go surfing. In a fortunate and chance meeting with Luke Hallam in Hawaii, now founder of Ocean Heroes in WA, I assisted Luke in multiple Molokai channel crossings to raise money for Autism awareness, Surfers Healing and now Ocean Heroes. I did burn out doing so much volunteer work, also heading OS with Habitat for Humanity, but always super proud of what I achieved and highly recommend you get involved yourself.
With the introduction of foiling, I've been lucky enough to combine all my passions into one discipline, with prone, SUP, winging foiling and now downwind, being my focus for the last three years. I now focus on riding and selling the best gear, so that you can have the best possible experience on the water.
I look forward to assisting you in water sports journey and ride!
