Sepp Bruhwiler

Sepp was born and raised in Tofino, right on South Chesterman Beach. A local boy, Sepp, had a natural talent for surfing and was a born waterman. He started competing at the age of 9 and had turned his passion for surfing into a career as a professional surfer. Sepp has won many distinguished competitions and accolades in the international surfing world.

Sepp hails from the Canada’s most prolific surf family. His older brother Raph has been called “The Godfather of Canadian Surfing.”And their sister, Catherine, helped create a path for Canada’s crop of hyper-talented female surfers. The next generation of Bruhwilers is putting their own stamp on the scene as well. And back in the early 2000s, Sepp’s reputation as a coldwater tube hound with one hell of an air game helped him turn pro when he was 22 years old.
