Volte Ambassador Lenox isn’t chasing trophies—he’s chasing empty lineups.

At 15 years old, this Margaret River local already knows that the best waves aren’t always the most convenient—and the best surfing isn’t always done in front of a crowd. Whether it’s paddling into cold slabs or entering a comp just to get uncrowded water, Lenox’s approach is quiet, committed, and clear.

He’s not just good—he’s grounded. And he’s got the mindset to match his talent.

In this short video, we asked him what drives him, what keeps him in the water, and why the right wetsuit matters when conditions get heavy.

Watch the full chat below.
