Life in the waves: a story about Island Surfboards thumbnail image.

Sandy Ryan’s life revolves around surfing, helping his dad run ‘Island Surfboards’ on Phillip Island in south-eastern Victoria, and teaching others how to ride waves. Matt’s best mate and mentor, Glyndyn, is an ex-pro surfer that shapes boards for ‘Island Surfboards’ and doesn’t mind a surf either.
This is a story about a mateship, keeping it local and living the surfing lifestyle dream.
