BRAXON HOLMSTROM

Do you have any rituals before competing?

Every competition I like to be as in-sync with my equipment and body as possible. Trying to stay in the moment rather than worrying about the end result helps me stay focussed on my goals. Before every competition I will completely clean my boards just to give them that fresh, lively feeling for an extra competitive edge.

What is a hidden talent that you have?

I can walk around the house on my hands.

What are your top 3 values?

Loyalty. Respect. Work Ethic.

Interesting fact or story about your time as an athlete

I lived in a remote mining town in north west WA until I was 10. With absolutely no surf, I was itching for the day I could live near the beach. My dream to surf was kept alive when my family would visit Queensland each year. I used to watch the surfers and dream of being one of them. When we moved to Queensland I was able to fulfil my dreams of becoming a surfer.

Favorite CLIF Nutrition and Flavor

My favourite CLIF nutrition is the Builders Protein Chocolate Mint flavour. The Chocolate flavoured Energy Gel Shots are insanely good as well.
