"My introduction to surfing was through my partner, who told me about it in late 2023. We took a surf trip with some of our friends, and when I tried it, I actually enjoyed it. It was really scary, but I was surprised that I could stand up and catch some waves. It took me one more trip - this time in Bali - before I decided that I definitely wanted to do this again."
"In 2024, I had been working at JPMorgan for a year and felt very burned out. I decided to go on my first solo trip and chose to go surfing. I picked Bali again because it was close to home, and I did tons of research on different surf camps before settling on one. I wanted to improve at surfing, but a key criterion was also being able to meet new people."
Chloe Lee discovered surfing in late 2023 after a surf trip with her partner and friends, and quickly found she enjoyed and could stand up on waves despite initial fear. By 2024, after a year at JPMorgan and feeling burned out, she took a solo surfing trip to Bali to improve and meet people. She chose a surf camp after extensive research and returned multiple times, learning staff and animals' names. Surfing offers her an escape from Singapore city life, builds confidence and patience, and fosters a sense of community and identity that influences her personal and professional life.
