Born into a legendary surfing family, Luke Stedman was destined to ride waves from an early age. His father, Shane Stedman, was not only a renowned surfboard maker and surf report broadcaster but also the inventor of the iconic UGG boot. With such a rich surfing heritage, it’s no surprise that Luke has spent a lifetime in the ocean.
His passion and dedication propelled him to the elite ranks of the World Championship Tour, where he earned the coveted Rookie of the Year title and claimed victories over icons like Kelly Slater. His highest end-of-year ranking — an impressive 10th place — cemented his status as one of the world’s top surfers. Luke’s legacy extends far beyond competition.
hrough his company, Blackball, he channels his deep knowledge and experience into surf coaching and mentorship, helping others reach their full potential. His commitment to excellence and passion for the sport continue to inspire a new generation of surfers, making him a respected and influential figure in the global surfing community.
