Otis Carey’s story features in our first digital magazine…….
“The best part about being Aboriginal is I’m already gifted with a special spiritual bond to the land and the ocean, it’s not only my job, but in a way it’s like going home again. I’d love to put more effort into being able to teach young and old Indigenous people how toi surf. It’s so important for aboriginal people to stay connected to ocean in any way at all, and surfing is such a fun way to do that. I got so friggin stoked when a young Koori kid or any kid of any heritage approaches me on facebook or whatever and tells me how cool it was to see a picture of me surfing with the Koori flag on my surfboard.” Otis Carey
