Tru Starling has had a deep love of the ocean ever since she can remember and started surfing at one of Australia’s most famous waves, North Narrabeen on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Tru developed her attacking style under the watchful eyes of Narrabeen greats like Damien Hardman, Nathan Hedge and Laura Enever, and learnt to apply power, speed and commitment amongst the talented crop of juniors coming through her beloved North Narrabeen Boardriders. Tru has competed in many levels of surfing, from the World Junior Titles, the Australian Open Series and Qualifying Series all the way through to being a part of the North Narrabeen team winning the Australian Boardriders Battle in 2021. Tru also works on the commentary team for the WSL event broadcast and runs an online magazine called Murmur. At the age of 21, Tru is truly committed to a life in and around surfing.

If you are a competitive surfer and we were to ask you, what are your goals for the future? Do you want to be on the dream tour? Do you want to win events? Do you want to win a World Title? We think, if you said no to all of this, you would be lying.
