Hailing from Freshwater Beach, the birthplace of Australian surfing, Lex O’Connor is a rare breed. There are not many young kids who will search out massive Nazaré, Shipstern Bluff, Queenscliff Bombie, or Cape Fear and go as hard as some of the best big-wave surfers in the world. We’re all waiting to see what Lex brings us next, and where his fearless approach in all waves of consequence will take him.
