Beau retired from professional surfing in 2003 to focus on a fulltime career in music. He has gone on to record 2 albums and performed at many of

Australia's most respected music festivals and toured through Japan & Europe. Beau has an obvious affinity with the film and story of Michael Peterson,

being the son of one of the worlds most recognised and famous surfers (and MP's predecessor), Nat Young. This will be Beau's first official U.S. tour.
