Australian Skater Surfers |
Ben Collison
Ben is the best skate surfer in the world – we haven’t seen anyone that come close. His power turns in the biggest, steepest, scariest inverted skatebowls blow people away. Ben has developed incredible torque and compression – smashing any skatepark lips that resemble surfing waves. No one can match him. He surfs exactly like he skates, carving and wrapping pockets.
Logan Lepetit
Being a tall guy, Logan has the extraordinary ability to keep on rail in critical sections of skatebowls. He’s always up for a new skateparks to try – not holding back. He has this crazy inverted hand plant thing that is off the hook. His surfing is so good down the line, smashing lips with fins out the back.
Tommy Demack
Tommy is one of the most unique surfers and skaters we’ve seen. He goes soooo hard he bleeds. He’s a light guy so he gets into the air with ease. He invents new moves on his SmoothStar that blows away even our best teamriders. Our favourite is a reverse grab fins out (wheels) of the bowl and rotate… of the richter scale. So epic.
Layton Lepetit
A big guy who uses his height and weight to good use – driving off the bottom and throwing the tail in steep bowl sections. His surfing rail game is nuts – the most powerful on rail turns and wraps with upmost control and agility for such a big guy. With inspiration from Jordy Smith, his backhand is impressive too – throwing buckets of spray everywhere.
Jayden Lepetit
With assistance and inspiration from his older brothers Logan and Layton, Jayden possesses free flowing style and control. Jayden goes so hard he loves to bomb the steepest hills and recently broke his leg skating but he’s recovered and surfing and skating better than before.
Australian Surf Skaters |
Connor Lee
Most amazing free flowing surf style you’ll ever see from a grom. He connects all his turns with such style and one of the most consistent surfers for his age in Australian junior surfing. Conner impeccable surf style enables him to consistently land his air reverses. One of the most consistent competitors going round and one of the nicest, most genuine frothing groms ever.
Carly Shanahan
A lover of the environment and animals, Carly has beautiful flow and control in her surfing. She’s consistently makes surf finals in junior comps and has one of the best rail-to-rail turns for her age in Australia. Carly’s is one of those surfers who just seems to be at one with the ocean and always seems to have a smile on her face.
Nate Hopkins
At only 9 years of age, we believe Nate is a future surfing super star. He is all power and muscle, his hacks and carves disperse bucks of water, smashing lips and all in his path. However, don’t let him fool you… inspired by Filipe Toledo, he’s now developing his aerial assault… its just as terrifying to see how this grom will get better and better.
Ben Buckpitt
Known as the kids with the white hair, Benny is one mellow grom from South Coast NSW. But don’t let this fool you, he still loves to compete and win. His bottom to top turns are on point and has excellent snaps in the pocket – not loosing any control and speed. He connects his turns and can go switch on his SmoothStar – so crazy :-0
