Luke gets to be a Zag Surf Ninja

4/10/2013

 
When I shot Hummies for a coupla days last month I couldn;t help notice that Luke Bakker was blowing up in a big way. So I decided to send a coupla shots of him off to the Zag guys to say hey, we have some surf ninja's here in PE too! They were super keen to chat to Luke, so here goes....

INTERVIEWS: SURF NINJA - LUKE BAKKER

If you had to ask the 11-time world champ where he learnt to surf, Kelly Slater would tell you “a place like PE, but warmer”. Well, maybe he wouldn’t mention PE, but Cocoa Beach is not known for its epic waves.

Neither is PE, but it too produces its fair amount of ripping surfers, and in amongst the past SA Champs and local heroes is a shredding junior named Luke Bakker, a DJ by night and wave assassin by day. He is this week’s Surf Ninja and a surfer to watch whenever a swell wraps into the bay.
