“I’m living the good life,” Jonas Meskis says of competing in international surfing contests, including recently winning the Canada national junior title.

Jonas Meskis, 17, acts like every day is a good day. “I’m living the good life,” he says. “It’s incredible.” He’s a surfer traveling the world and visiting surfing hot spots with his twin brother, Jackson. “Oh my gosh, it’s incredible. It’s so cool,” Jonas says. This weekend Jonas is in Surf City, El Salvador, competing at the ISA World Junior Surfing Championship. Last month he was in British Columbia winning the Canadian junior national championship. He’s got his own YouTube channel.

It’s always new, it’s always changing.' Jonas talks like an A student, which he is. The stereotype of surfers not being the brightest just doesn’t fit. He does embrace all the surfer phrases, though. He’s got the lingo down to perfection. “You’re shredding” means surfing is good. “Sick” means awesome. “Gnarly” means large. Surf competitions come down to finding a big wave, riding it and impressing the judges. Winning the Canadian junior championship was important to Jonas.
