At the age of 59 years and 8 months, Conacher became the oldest rookie in the world to surf Maverick’s 🌊, the “Mount Everest of surfing” 🏔️ one of the most challenging and dangerous surf breaks in the world, located near Half Moon Bay, California. What makes Conacher’s feat truly astonishing is the fact that he didn’t start surfing until his 50s, wow! 🤯 Most accomplished big wave surfers start from a very young age, honing their skills over decades of experience. For Conacher to achieve this milestone at an age when most people are contemplating retirement is nothing short of extraordinary. 💪
