Elise Elliott’s successful media career encompasses a trifecta across television, radio, and print that has spanned more than twenty-five years. In her late forties, she was inspired by her husband, Tom Elliott to take on a new adventure - surfing.

Although both Elise and Tom live a very parallel life in the media, her husband has an incredible passion for surfing and would come out of the water with a look of astounding elation on his face. It was this reaction encouraged Elise to pursue surfing.
