Mi nombre es Tomás Castillo, soy chileno, tengo 15 años y he vivido toda mi vida en la Playa de Puertecillo, en la sexta región de Chile. Este es un lugar alejado de todas las ciudades, en la mitad del campo y la vida es muy tranquila. Su ola es una punta izquierda perfecta. Y es aquí donde aprendí a surfear a los 3 años.

El surf es lo que mas me gusta hacer y estoy trabajando duro para algun día poder estar en las Olimpiadas y en el WCT .

I started surfing at the age of 12, my first sport involving boards was snowboarding, we decided as a family to move to live on the beach and I became passionate about surfing, it was easy for me to start given my experience sliding in the snow, where I reached compete several times. Today I am dedicated 100% to surfing, competing on the WSL and Latin American Alas Pro Tour circuit. I have represented my country 4 times since I was 12 years old, obtaining medals in the 4 South American junior championships, which makes me very proud and happy to have the opportunity to compete representing Chile again, this time in my first ISA World Cup.
