ABOUT LINCOLN
Lincoln is a professional waterman and has made a name for himself in stand up paddle boarding, surfing, sailing and surf life saving. His passion and uncomprised motivation has seen one of the fastest growths in performance in the stand up paddle boarding league.
Over the last 4 years SUP racing has dominated my life. As one of the fastest expanding sports in the world and recognised as the most competitive physical endurance ocean sport, it’s become my obsession to one day become world champion. Over that last 8 years I’ve grown within the ocean paddling scene from a young grom who was stoked to line up against my idols to now starting to realise the reality of becoming a world champion is within my grasp.
Away from my own sport I’m in the process of studying a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science, while getting the opportunity to have experience within the industry while working at the Ocean Performance Centre, and helping develop the next generation of surfers, swimmers and athletes…”
