Welcome To The Family: Eddy Hamaty

Eddy Hamaty Joins the Deus Surf Team.

You’d be forgiven for thinking Eddy Hamaty had surfing in the blood, but the self-taught convert grew up in Sydney’s western suburbs rebuilding bikes in the garage with his dad. An avid swimmer, motocross rider and go-karter, Hamaty was initially resistant to picking up a board and it wasn’t until his thirteenth birthday that he got his first taste. Cut to ten years later and following a move to Sandon Point on the south coast, surfing is a daily obsession and his competitive career is in full swing. On land, Hamaty is still a car and bike enthusiast ”to the point where it’s probably annoying to those who can’t relate”. Inspired by the likes of Asher Pacey, Bryce Young and Jai Glinderman, Hamaty described his style as “an attempt to make surfing a pleasure to watch” and we agree.

Welcome aboard Eddy!
