I'm Justin Faulkner. Born and raised in Jersey, in the Channel Islands, the ocean's melody was my constant backdrop, just 50 meters from my childhood home. The wave I grew up surfing, 'Secrets', left an indelible mark on my soul and serves as part of the inspiration for this blog.
During my 20s, I chased waves across the globe, experiencing the raw spirit of surf travel. Eventually, life brought me to Margaret River where I found home with my partner Mada, our son Koa, and our spirited dog, Mango. By day, I assist chiropractors and healthcare entrepreneurs in refining their brands. But whenever the ocean calls, I turn to my passion project - Secret Seaweed.
The name? A playful nod to the old surf forecasting site magicseaweed.com, blended with memories from my heritage and the universal surfer's dream: luxurious accommodations just a stone's throw from untouched waves.
At Secret Seaweed, we're all about connecting those who, after years of backpacking and spontaneous surf trips, now crave a touch of luxury with their adventures. If that's you, you're in the right place.
If you have suggestions, questions, or just want to share a surf tale, don't hesitate to drop me a line at justin@secretseaweed.com.
Looking ahead, our vision is clear: to be the top destination for high-quality surf travel, making surf getaways both luxurious and predictable. So, come along and ride this wave with us. Welcome to Secret Seaweed.
