She quickly became known for her confidence, determination and ability to surf in almost any conditions. Whether she is racing down the face of a powerful wave or helping a new surfer catch their first one, Naomi always brings plenty of positive energy. Away from the water, she loves exploring rock pools and helping keep her local beaches clean.
