Jack Buckingham

Surfer and Filmmaker, South Devon, UK

I’m Jack, a free-surfer coming out of the SE coast of Cornwall. I love to travel, Indonesia is one of the best yet craziest places I have been, the waves were amazing compared to what we get in the UK, Scotland is also amazing, a cold water version of Indo! My favourite waves are Padang Padang in Bali and Porthleven in Cornwall. Other than surfing I am a photographer and filmmaker, although its very hard to be behind a camera when the waves are pumping!

I have suffered with surfers ear for the past three years due to surfing in cold water and strong winds which has left me with a 25% hearing loss, constant ear pain whist in the water, balance issues and equalizing problems. After experimenting with a few plugs and blue tac I gave up on surfing with plugs, until l got a pair of Surf-Ears for my birthday, the ability to hear is one of downsides to all other plugs, but Surf-Ears allow you to hear just fine! The first time I used Surf-Ears the pain I would usually get from the first duck dive didn’t happen! Surf-Ears are the first thing I check I have before a session now!
