Meet Braeden Kopec, 8 year-old super grom and rising star from Flagler Beach, Florida whose favorite place in the world is Costa Rica. On their most recent trip, Braeden and his 2 supporting parents spent their 7th trip here at Witch’s Rock Surf Camp enjoying the summertime vibes and playful surf. (Talk about serious WRSC Alumni right?)
In between guest interviews on the Pirate Radio Show, ripping up the waves along the coast, and representing WRSC as a team rider, we caught up with Braeden to learn more about what make this 8 year old tick.
