Experience

Alexander Haro has been writing about surfing, the environment, and the outdoors with The Inertia for 12 years. Prior to that, he worked at SURFER magazine after spending nearly 10 years doing various labor jobs in Northern British Columbia.

Based in Canada, Alexander still dreams of writing a novel. In the meantime, he can be found somewhere outside with his dogs, riding his motorcycle, surfing, camping, hiking, or reading when he should be doing something else that’s more important.

Career Highlights

Team trips to Hawaii.

Getting to know Portugal while writing about his experiences.

Having the opportunity to travel to interesting places and surf amazing waves with a handful of surfers who he used to only see in magazines.

John John Florence's latest series, entitled Twelve, is in the same vein as View From a Blue Moon. It works a little harder than most of the internet clips.
