Surviving Summer Cast Ages in 2022: Are They Real Surfers?

Fans wonder about the real ages of cast members of Netflix's Surviving Summer after watching the show. In addition to that, they are also curious to know if the cast members are actually surfers in real life as well. Follow the article to know how old the cast members are in 2022 and if they actually surf.

While Netflix's Stranger Things season 4 volume 1 drew a large viewership, the streaming giant offers another teen show that is totally different yet as gripping. While the main characters in Surviving Summer do not fight monsters, the show's setting of Shorehaven, Victoria is just as significant to the show as Hawkins is to Stranger Things.

Surviving Summer, a Netflix teen drama series created by Josh Mapleston and Joanna Werner, is centered on the main character, Summer Torres. After being expelled from two schools, the stubborn Brooklyn youngster is forced to move to Shorehaven, Victoria, Australia, and live with family friends on the other side of the world.

Viewers immediately grabbed the attention after watching the Netflix show. They wonder about their real ages. Some of the fans even researched that a few of the cast members are real surfers as well. Yes, you read it right. Some of the cast members actually surf. Here is everything we know about the cast members, including their age and if they actually surf in real life.

How Old Are the Cast Members of Netflix’s Surviving Summer?

As mentioned earlier, Netflix's Surviving Summer revolves around the stubborn Summer Torres, played by Sky Katz. There are 5 major cast members: Sky Katz, Kai Lewins, Savannah La Rain, Joao Marinho, and Lilliana Bowrey. And now let's get to know them with their short introduction and real age.

Skylar Katz (@skykatz) is a 17-year-old American actress best known for portraying Tess O'Malley in the television series Raven's Home (2017 to 2021). Katz is also a musician and was involved in the music department of the television film Kim Possible. Summer Torrez, the protagonist of Surviving Summer, is played by this emerging actress.

Kai Lewins (@kailewins) is an Australian actor who plays Ari Gibson in the television series Surviving Summer. In the TV series Wild Boys, the actor made his television debut as Tom Barrett. The Elegant Gentleman's Guide to Knife Fighting, Pulse, and Roar are among his other TV appearances. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing the actor's exact age, but we believe he is in his late 20s.

Because Surviving Summer is a teen drama, the cast is primarily made up of teenagers. Savannah La Rain (@savannah_la_rain) is one of the series' young actresses, as she is only 17 years old. She is a multi-talented woman who works as an actress, model, and dancer. Bodhi Mercer is her character in the Australian series.

Surviving Summer's Marlon Sousa is played by Joao Marinho (@joaogabmarinho, an American actor. Marinho appears to have only recently begun his acting career, as Surviving Summer is his first film. He gave a solid performance in the series, which means we'll be seeing the beautiful actor more frequently in the future.

Lilliana Bowrey (@lillianabowrey) is an actress from Australia who also happens to be a professional surfer who can ride both a longboard and a shortboard. According to reports, Lilliana Bowrey is 16 years old. The excellent surfer was named one of Tracks Magazine's top 10 female surfers, and she doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon, as she has been surfing since childhood. She made her TV debut as Poppy Tetanui in Surviving Summer.

Are the Cast Members of Surviving Summer Real Surfers? Do They Actually Surf?

We all enjoyed Surviving Summer on Netflix. No wonder, every one of us actually thought, at least once, if the cast members were surfers in real life. The surfing in the show looked very real and surfing isn't something any actor can learn in a short period of time. Now let's know if they can actually surf in real life.

Sky Katz plays the main character in the show. Talking about her surfing life, she does not surf a lot, which means she must have taken help for all the surfing scenes. Similarly, Kai Lewins and Savannah La Rain also seem to follow the steps of Katz. They too might have shot all of their surfing scenes with major help.

On the other hand, Joao Marinho and Lilliana Bowrey are very familiar with surfing as they seem to have been surfing from their childhood. In fact, Lilliana is a professional surfer who has been competing in multiple competitions.

However, that does not mean Joao and Lilliana didn't take any help while filming the series. It is totally different from surfing in real-time. Similarly, Katz, Lewins, and La Rain also might know the basics or have learned how to actually surf by now.
