Ronnie Ayres is a life long ocean athlete with a deep background in lifeguard competitions, outrigger canoe racing, standup paddling, surfing and swimming. He is just as comfortable paddling island to island in Hawaii or exploring Lake Tahoe on a paddle board as he is competing in lifeguard rowing races at home in Wildwood Crest, NJ. Now freelance writing, his prolific work experience includes restaurant manager, college swim coach, cafe owner, wine sales, outdoor sports brand management and of course, lifeguarding.
