Nothing irritates me more than a surfer that is unable or unwilling to work to my creative vision.
\nDylan is NOT one of those surfers!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dylan Lightfoot is a 17 year old, natural foot surfer from J-Bay.
\nHe is highly talented and an awesome, down to earth person out of the water. These 2 characteristics of the young surfer make him one of the most enjoyable surfers to shoot with.<\/p>\n

I recently caught up with Dyl for a quick chat.<\/p>\n

(me) Why surfing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(dyl) I enjoy being in the ocean!
\nSurfing a wave presents me with endless possibilities. No two waves are the same and I can do what I want, when I want on one.<\/p>\n

Best Surfing Memory?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anytime I am surfing my home break with my mates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What does it mean to be a surfer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To me, it means enjoying the freedom of riding a wave.
\nBeing a surfer and enjoying my natural surroundings has made me more environmentally conscious and I feel it is important to preserve the environment I enjoy in any small way.<\/p>\n

Earliest surfing memory?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first barrel at main beach! To this day it is a pretty vivid memory<\/p>\n

Besides surfing, what else do you enjoy<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

I love spending time with my friends and family.
\nI also enjoy training for surfing and a little bit of motorbike riding<\/p>\n
