Gary Sheppard
Geezer isn’t chasing trophies or tour points—he’s chasing the perfect wave, the cleanest line, and that unmatched feeling of saltwater freedom. A true free surfer at heart, Geezer surfs for the love of it, not the limelight. Whether it’s dawn patrol before work or golden-hour sessions to close the day, he’s all about keeping the stoke alive and carving out a life where work and waves flow in harmony.
With a deep respect for the ocean and a mindset that blends adventure with mindfulness, Geezer embodies the essence of surf-life balance. He’s the guy who’ll trade deadlines for drop-ins when the swell is right—but always brings that same energy and focus back to whatever’s on the agenda.
More than a surfer, Geezer is a vibe—laid-back, grounded, and forever chasing that next clean set with a smile.

Professional and Competitive Surfer
NICK FARAGO
Nick competed in the NSW State Log Titles and achieved a perfect score of 10 in the final. That is near impossible however Nick pulled it off convincingly and with complete maturity. There was no question Nick was stoked, to say the least.
Nick has wasted no time in choosing his favourite EURO style by naming the SLICK the best style yet. The slick is a slim frame, lightweight and feels like a feather on your face, he says. He gives the slick a perfect 10!
