Hey everyone my name is Nathan Luton – Koerber.
I have been body boarding for about 15 years and have been dking for about 12 of those. I grew up down on the south coast of nsw, just north of Wollongong. I grew up looking up to guys like Dave Ballard, Paul Roach, Kiona McGee, Kyle Maligro. I started competing locally and then moved up to regionals (now state champs) then to the Aussie’s and now have competed on the Pro tour and in the DK Sessions.
I live on the Gold coast in Coolangatta, loving the fact that d’bah is my local now. It can get crowed but I believe that some of the worlds best body boarders and DK riders are up here so it’s here where you have to test your skills
