Reuben Wakely

Hometown: Porthtowan

Years Surfing: 9 years

Favourite board: Both of them! (Hazzatron squash 5’0 x 17 x 2 and Hazzatron round tail 5’0 x 17 x 2)

Favourite surf spot: Porthtowan and Porthleven

Worst wipeout story: Nothing too horrendous yet, but I split my chin open at Aggie shorebreak last year and spent the rest of New Year’s Day getting stitches.

Biggest influence: Harry. His surfing inspires me every time I see him in the water.

Best result / career moment: Winning the last event of the Junior Surf Series in Bude in October last year. With one minute left on the clock, I caught the wave and scored what I needed. I hit the end section as hard as I could and made it—still not sure how I pulled off that turn!

Future goals: To spend as much time surfing as possible and keep improving. Winning some more comps would be nice too!
