Our first episode of the Nemeth Narratives podcast is out now on Buzz Sprout! Be inspired by the story of Ellixis Julio (@ellixis.j) as he shares how he conquered his fear of the water into finally becoming the surfer that he is now.
"Most people who know me know that I am a surfer and think that I have been a waterman my whole life. There was so much struggle and journey behind all of that, and it has been so long to the point where I look back at myself and can’t believe I was the same person. I wanted to inspire others, sure, but ultimately I made this piece to honor that high school boy who didn’t have a lot, didn’t know a lot, but had all of the heart." - Ellixis Julio
Ellixis Julio is a local San Diego Surfer, Creative, and Bioengineer. When he’s not chasing swell or creating with his camera, he’s immersing himself in Japanese culture and language.
