Will Bailey

Hometown: West Down, North Devon

Years Surfing: 22 years

Favourite board: Hazzatron! It’s the board I rely on for most of my surfing.

Favourite surf spot: Gotta be home when it’s ON, right?

Worst wipeout story: Messing around doing some whip-ins a couple of years ago at Mullaghmore. I got towed into a small one, ended up on the inside, and found a huge double-up right on my head. I got held down and rinsed the whole length of the reef with my hood around my neck. Definitely a humbling experience, haha!

Biggest influence:
In surfing, it’s gotta be Andy Irons.
In life in general, my friends and of course, my mother!

Best result / career moment: Stoked to have a couple of British titles (Under 14 and Under 18). Since then, every time I make a good tube and have fun in the ocean is a good enough result for me!

Future goals: Keep enjoying the ride, scoring waves, and continuing the pursuit of hunting perfect pits! It’d be rad to work on some video projects too.
