Resilience isn't just a word for Ramzi Boukhiam. Judging from the last ten years, it's his whole life.
Ramzi started as just another kid from Agadir on borrowed boards, and with a burning desire to make it. The road to the CT was long - ten years long, to be exact. And when he finally qualified, an ankle injury sidelined him for his entire rookie season.
That's the kind of stuff that breaks most surfers. Not him.
Fast forward to today, he's the only Arab surfer ever to crack the CT. When he's dialed in, Ramzi can take down anyone. But his story goes from the highest highs to the lowest lows. He's refreshingly blunt about the mental toll, the isolation, and the relentless pressure of pro surfing. With the event window for the 2024 Summer Olympics days away, it's the perfect timing for another Raw File.
*We recorded this before Ramzi was awarded a definitive spot on the CT. At the time, he was an injury alternate trying to re-qualify the only way he knew how; The Qualifying Series.*
A conversation too good for the cutting room floor.
This is Ramzi Boukhiam, uncut.
