Born in Cape Town, South Africa. Tristan moved to the small town of Hermanus when he was 7 years old. He started bodyboarding with his older brother and friends and before he knew it, he entered his first competition at the age of nine. A few years later, Tristan ended up winning 5 South African bodyboarding titles.
The only boy under 15 to ever win the boys division together with the Pro Open division in 2012. The realization started to keep pushing to achieve more within the sport of bodyboarding.
Tristan’s family and friends played a massive role in motivating him to go overseas and start competing against the big names. In 2014 Tristan went over to Sintra, Portugal to compete in the Junior World Championships and he was crowned Junior World Champion.
Tristan matriculated in 2015 and went on the Pro World tour. During these couple of years, Tristan was making one or two podiums and winning one or two world tour events for the Pro Division.
In 2019 all the experience and skill finally put him in the position to be crowned Men’s World Champion.
“Everything started falling into place and I ended up winning my First Mens World Title. I also made History by then being the First Person to win Both a Junior World Title and Mens world title in their career.
“I’m so grateful to have had all these experiences. I’m 24 years old now and I can’t wait to see what the future brings. To work with a brand like The African Cannamed Co. is really exciting. I cannot wait to see where in the world we end up together, but all I know is, that this is a damn exciting journey.”
