Ripper of the month: Brody Mulik
Meet Brody Mulik, a 15-year-old surfer from Australia. We came across Brody a couple of weeks ago after seeing a clip of him landing a backflip... AT 15!
We instantly reached out and nominated him as our Ripper of the Month. Get to know Brody Mulik a little better in the Q&A below!
Age: 15
Sport: Surfing
Local Spots: The Box & Northpoint
Who are some of your biggest inspirations?
Jack Robinson, because he also comes from Margaret River, and his success has shown me what’s possible. He grew up charging The Box, Northpoint, and all the same waves as me.
John John Florence is definitely one of the best, too. His air game, rail turns, and tube riding are so tapped.
What’s your favorite moment in surfing so far?
Just the other day, I landed my first backflip at Northpoint. It was one of my goals for this year. I had been practicing with straps to get used to the rotation, but that was the first time I landed one without straps, so I’m really stoked.
How would you describe your surfing style?
Going big, no holding back.
Any hobbies outside of surfing?
I enjoy playing the drums in the garage at home, but surfing and training take up most of my time. I’ve also been away a lot this year, so I love hanging out with my mates when I’m home.
What’s your favorite music to listen to before a surf?
I really like 12 Point Buck. I recently made a surfing edit to one of their songs, and it goes really well with surfing.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Getting barrelled, getting crazy clips, and making sick movies. I’d also like to give competitions a good try.
Really, I just want to keep giving it my all, having fun, dreaming big, and seeing where it takes me!
