Favorite Break: Biarritz was pretty amazing. Best ride of my life by far, head high Laguna beach at Brooks st.

Dan:
Born and raised in Montreal. (I’m a West Island kid from Pointe Claire) I’ve always loved water sports and swimming so surfing was a natural thing to try for me.
I tried out surfing in 2004 near Lagos, Portugal while I was on my Europe trip that summer. When I got home, my buddy showed me river surfing and I’ve been trying to get to Habitat whenever I can ever since.
Favorite Break: Probably Lagos but I attribute that largely to the fact that it was the first time I experienced the rush of some decent sized waves and that day ended up being one of the best days ever in my 24 years.
Next Road Trip: Wherever Chris will drive me! Haha, I don’t have a car and have no plans to get one for now so I go wherever I can to catch some waves.
Other Activities: I’m passionate about photography so I snap pictures wherever I go. Surf photography would be a great experience but those underwater vacation cameras just don’t cut it. When I manage to fall into some serious cash, I’ll invest in some serious gear. I have recently finished my MBA!
