I come from a fantastic Right hand Point break, and in winter we are spoilt with world class waves.  I followed my brother Luc onto a surf board from the age of 8, also as a goofy foot and have never looked back.  We travel all over South Africa to compete in our SSA Comps, and enjoy getting so much experience on our countries varies breaks.  With SA East Coast majority of our waves are right hand point breaks, and I enjoy blowing up on my back hand.

Born and raised in Cape St. Francis . Lives with parents and older brother Joel. Started surfing at age 3, loves competing and travelling .

I won U16 Girls SA Champs in 2022. My coach is triple crown winning Heather Clark. This is my first year at world's. I'm working towards my springbok in scouting.

Hi! I'm Max, I'm a surfer from KZN, SA. I love the ocean and spending time surfing or just being in the sea. I am so grateful I get to enjoy it dailyas we live right on one of my favourite surf breaks . I love travelling to new places and returning to old favourites with friends and family.i have amazing friends at home that i surf with that continuosly push me to do my best 

I started surfing when I was 11 years old during Covid when there was no school sport. 

My Dad was a professional surfer and on the WCT from 1996 to 2001. He met my Mom at an event in Spain called the Pantin Classic. I have family in Spain and been learning Spanish and it is great to practice here in El Salvador.

A pretty exciting thing is my lifestyle... my mom and I have been travelling the coast of South Africa with a caravan camping along our Beautiful Coastline with amazing waves , friends and gaining a tremendous amount of knowledge at new spots.. We plan to carry on until I am finished with school , where then I will take matters into my own hands being introduced to Vanlife :) it's my dream to surf new spots all with my little van..

Loves to fish and do big air in the water aswell as getting barreled in front of all my friends 

Living in Scottburgh, I am spoilt with a exellent Right hand point break, and Winter we have world class waves.  I have been surfing from the age of 10, first starting out with nippers and then taking on the waves.  I love being out in the water, feels like I am one with nature.  I love the thrill you get after a good wave

My name is Sarah Scott and I'm 18yrs old and I live in Kommetjie, South Africa. Kommetjie and the surrounding areas are blessed with surf and as a result surfing has become my go to sport. I'm stoked to represent my country and excited to compete in ISA World Junior Surfing Champs. My goal is to make the most out of this trip and surf my best.
