We started with Jonny and Luca: Two surfers from the UK who, over the years, have spent way too many hours on public transport, coaches, Ubers, and buses just to get to the beach—sometimes all in the same day. Every now and then, they'd manage to beg (or bribe) a friend with a car to join them, but more often than not, it was back to the endless cycle of trains, buses and Ubers — definitely not the ideal way to start a day of surfing. Out of these struggles, the idea for Drop-in was born: to connect surfers, share rides, and make getting to surf spots way more fun, easy, and affordable.
Jonny
The social butterfly. Always checking the surf forecast and rallying friends into the water. Believes the surf community can drive change — literally.
Luca
The builder. Codes at night, surfs at dawn. Wants to connect the UK surf scene with fewer empty car seats and no surfer left landlocked.
Julia
The energiser. Always finding ways to bring people together. Usually daydreaming about clean lines and sunny skies and everyone catching a wave.
Ray
The master negotiator. Knows how to sweet talk the whole lineup. Always calm under pressure and keeps things rolling smooth and steady.
