Let's face it—Australians are just born good at surfing, in the same way that Canadians are born good at donut eating and hitting small rubber things with sticks. Ben Murphy is a case in a point—a ripper who grew up competing in the junior ranks in New South Wales before relocating to Canada to ski. Ben lives in Tofino now, coaching skiing in mountains in the wintertime and surfing the rest of the time. Here's a clip of him shredding some waves on the Island and back home at Sandon Point in Oz.
