Surfing legend and longevity guru Felipe Pomar visited Odyssey Robina with his wife, Doctor in Natural Medicine PhD Christina Degano, to host an information session on longevity, healthy living and how to keep pursuing your goals in your golden years.
A huge thank you to Felipe and Christina for visiting our community and so generously sharing their wisdom and inspiration. Our residents loved hearing Felipe’s incredible tsunami story, along with Christina’s knowledge in natural medicine.
Born in Peru in 1943, Felipe Pomar became Peru’s first World Champion winning the 1965 ISF World Surfing Championships from Australia’s Nat Young at Punta Rocas, Peru, he has also ranked first or within the top three in all international big wave competitions from 1965 to 1975 and was one of the first to surf the outside reefs on the North Shore of Oahu.
Felipe is visiting Australia as part of his Surf till 100 program and will be speaking at the World Surfing Conservation Conference (WSCC) which will take place from 16 to 19 February at Southern Cross University’s Gold Coast campus.
