I am a 17 years old girl from Belgium. I come to Brazil for the international experience and to push my bounderies in surfing. This is the first time travelling out of Europe. I love traveling, especially to places where I can surf. I am very excited to get to know new people and socialise. I am very curious how the Ocean will be. The only thing from Belgium I'll miss, is not chocolate but my dog Nacho.

My name is June Pacheu, and I'm 17 years old. I'm originally from bleigum and frnace, but I currently live in Singapore with my parents while also finsihsing my last year of high school (IB). Surfing is a sport I really enjoy but sadly can't perform on this island, therefore swimming helps me a lot to train and spending time with friends. 

I live between Biarritz and Hossegor, I have been surfing since I was 6 years old. Both my parents surf as well as my brother Nicolas Paulet who competed last year also in the ISA with the French team. I have a dog Lucky, who follows us everywhere and watches us from the beach when we surf. I love to eat good food. I am currently training to pass the lifeguard exam so that I can be a lifeguard this summer. Stoked to represent Belgium during this event! 

Hi! My name is Louis Escudeiro. I´m a 14 year old Belgian-Portuguese surfer living in the Algarve, Portugal. I started surfing when I was 8 years old, and since then I never stopped. I love being in the ocean with my friends, surfing good waves and most of all, having fun!!! I like to travel to surf other waves and meet new places and persons with their different cultures. I ride SPO surfboards and like hollow and barreling waves the best!

WHO AM I? I am a 11 year old happy boy who likes to ride the waves of live... Surfing and skating are my passions and I like to challenge myself in competition to improve my skills and enjoy to the fullest.

I enjoy being in the water, clearing my head en always happy to surf

Born in Belgium, live with my parents and brother in Waregem. get the surf and snow vibe from my parents, discover my talent in the Belgian beachclubs, O'Neill beachclub and Twins beachclub. If I don't have to study and there are no waves you can find me on my surfskate outdoor when good weather, indoor to practice my surfmoves when the weather is messy. My idol Sky Brown ispires me to go further ... thx for that.

Belgian father & English mother, born on Fuertevenura, Canary Islands. I started surfing at the age of 4. Enjoy free surfing with my mom, dad and friends. Love to push my limits in big waves and equally enjoy trying to surf with grace on my longboard. Only started competing this year.   

I'm from Belgium, which isn't the best surfcountry. I try to train as much as possible abroad. Mostly in Portugal/ Fuerteventura with the Belgian Surfteam. 

I'm Jorre Claeys and I'm 15 years old. I love surfing for the freedom and to get better at it. I enjoy surfing with family, especially with my brother Rinke.
