He bought his first boat for $1... and never looked back.
Raised in Byron Bay, Australia, Sage has been living life on the water since he was 11 years old. Learning from his father's ocean adventures, he grew up with saltwater in his veins and a deep connection to life at sea. By 19, he had purchased his first boat for just $1 (yes, really 😳) and began creating films focused on conservation, adventure, and the lessons only the ocean can teach.
At just 27 years old, Sage is already chasing horizons aboard Billabong, a 1977 Magpie 34 with decades of sailing history behind her. And she's no ordinary sailboat. Billabong competed in 10 consecutive Sydney to Hobart races between 1977 and 1988, missing just one year, and was both designed and skippered by the legendary Peter Joubert.
When he's not chasing good weather and quiet anchorages along Australia's east coast, you'll find Sage freediving, spearfishing, exploring remote islands, and sharing the simple beauty of life at sea while documenting the journey along the way.
But the next chapter is already on the horizon.
In just a few months, Sage plans to sell his boats and begin the search for a new vessel overseas. The goal? Sail her home on a long-distance adventure filled with new oceans, new stories, and plenty of salty miles.
Because for Sage, sailing was never a hobby.
It's a way of life.
Fair winds, Sage. We can't wait to see where the next horizon takes you. 🌎⚓
