Olympian & surfing champion Billy Stairmand on the ups and downs of 2024

Pro surfer Billy Stairmand is gearing up for a summer at home with his dog Obie at his beloved Raglan after a massive year of surfing, including competing at the Paris Olympics (in Tahiti). Billy's been on the world stage for 14 years and still has the same energy and love for the sport, describing it as his dream job he's grateful for every day. What's amazing about Billy is he isn't afraid to open up about his feelings, and the highs and lows of being a professional athlete. He's a great role model for surfing, and an integral part of our sports culture. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
