Gianluca and Briar, living in Raglan, New Zealand. We’ve got a serious love for the ocean, outdoor adventures, cooking up a storm, and making people feel welcome. We have spent almost ten years exploring the country, never tiring of the incredible waves, the friendly people, and the stunning natural beauty. Briar grew up along some of the most gorgeous coastlines here, so she knows this place like the back of her hand. Gianluca, originally from Europe, after surfing and living all over the world, found the perfect spot in New Zealand with its amazing waves and laid-back lifestyle. Of our friends, when introducing them to our business venture of SSA, we heard so often “I can’t think of anyone better to do it!” We love this country, we love food, we love waves. It turns out, what we are really good at, is planning epic surf trips, finding the best waves, making sure its memorable in and out of the surf.
