Living the dream, on credit
From WQS warrior to independent filmmaker via a AUS$27,000 debt, Johnny Abegg has trod an unconventional path through life so far, and proves that a relentlessly positive outlook and upbeat character can see you through the toughest times... Words: Mark Sankey Photos: Johnny Abegg
One of the hottest underground free surfers in Byron Bay, Johnny Abegg has developed his own unique, smooth style and, as a team rider for the creative crew at Sea Surfboards, he has the opportunity to express himself on a variety of innovative surf craft. He works as a film editor for and is a founding team member of Skuff TV. Approaching life artistically and with an open mind, he also finds time to work on a variety of other personal creative projects; but Johnny has lived a life at the other end of the cultural spectrum, as a pro surfer on the WQS.
