Some words from Scotty
“Surfing is one of the best and healthiest form of fitness there is, so being able to help people surf better, longer or even for the first time is most rewarding for me. I feel really humbled training along side people who share the same connection to the ocean, it makes for a great community vibe in the gym.""
