To the young folks who do not possess the superhuman prowess of those fortunate enough to make a living from surfing, entering adulthood is a daunting endeavor. There’s a constant and incessant pressure to find and maintain a healthy work/surf balance. How does one attain this seemingly ceaseless struggle? Look no further, as Australia’s Dylan Longbottom exemplifies the idyllic life of a grom trapped in a grown man’s body.
Dylan currently resides with his beautiful family in Bali, Indonesia, where he works as a surfboard manufacturer.

Let it be known: Dylan Longbottom is living the dream.
