Connor Bonham

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Connor has always lived close to the ocean. As his dad introduced him to paddleboarding at the age of 13, he was drawn to the feeling of being in the ocean. As he grew up he went to work at an outdoor shop teaching paddleboarding. He was hooked which propelled him deep into the waterman lifestyle and from there he started competing at the age of 19.

Connor traveled the globe on the circuit racing upwards of 30 miles on paddleboards and surfing 20 ft+ waves. The sport was his passion, the boards were his tools and the ocean was his life. As he reached the top 10 in the world, it drove him to be featured in a TV series called “Facing Waves”.

Being so amazed by the ocean and the lifestyle it could give him, he turned his attention to boating and captaining boats as he continued to compete in water sports. This took him to more amazing places over the years but he was always drawn back to home. Eventually residing in Atlantic Beach, just a short drive from his family home, he continued to appreciate the amazing people and beautiful community here. Connor says this is where he is meant to be, exploring with family and friends (new and old) and sharing his passion for the ocean and adventure with everyone!
