Live now: How Surfers Get Paid, Season Finale

“You go up in winter, it's a pretty special place. Mum showed me a picture the other day, I think I was like six months old or something, and I'm just sitting on her lap in their Troopy. It made me realized 'Fuck, I’ve been there every season for the past 25 years'. When I was in year six, we lived up there for about six months, dad worked at the station and I'd be sitting in a caravan doing homework faced directly towards the waves. My parents always said, ‘You've got to finish your homework, then you can go surfing.’ Which was agonizing. There’s a ton of natural beauty up there and not having a working phone is epic. I'll go surfing a few times a day, fish or snorkel when the tides come, make fires, cook, have a beer. It’s super simple but it's pretty nice. I definitely miss it when I'm over here on the Goldie amongst the rat race”, says Jacob. Frame: Tom Jennings
