Bradley Hook is the Editor of www.Surfd.com.

Brad began surfing at the age of 5 when his uncle pushed him into a few small waves at the Bay of Plenty in Durban, South Africa. He has journeyed around the world and lived in Europe for a few years, sampling those cold Atlantic swells, before settling in Australia where he has been resident for the most part of a decade.

Brad has worked as a freelance photographer, with his images published up to centrefold size in ZigZag surfing magazine, South Africa. He has also contributed articles to Tracks magazine.

Beyond the sea, Brad writes for a number of business and environmental publications and is the founder of Tick Green (www.tickgreen.com) - an iniative that helps offset the impact of the internet and technology on the environment. Brad also runs a web design agency based on the beach (well near enough) in Manly on the northern beaches of Sydney.
