Raised along the Tweed and Gold Coast, @sheldonsimkus grew up riding some of the world’s most coveted waves, like Snapper Rocks and D-Bah, right in his backyard. Growing up as an up-and-coming grom on the shoulder, watching greats like Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, and Dingo charge from behind the rock, he’s now earned his seat there himself. Now a Gold Coast standout, strike-mission addict, and good-time connoisseur, he’s always fizzing for a fun session and adventures with his mates.
“I’m really excited to join Firewire and Slater Designs,” @sheldonsimkus says. “I grew up watching Kelly surf contests, win world titles, and push board design and wave technology. I can’t wait to help push innovation and design with the team.”
We’re stoked to have our boards under his feet on some of the best waves in the world and to have him on the team helping push innovation and design with us in the future.
