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.

"For all I know, it came rushing up from the briny depths with murder in its soulless, black eyes. It wanted to eat Mick Fanning in one massive bite, then spray his blood all over Julian Wilson and laugh maniacally in the face of the crowd. More likely, I think, is that it just wanted to see what the hell was floating around up there, then got caught up in Mick's leash."

By telling someone that I enjoy riding a surfboard, I've just gone from a slightly intelligent person to a stupid pothead, and all because of the surfer stereotype.
