GB Surfing Announces First Ever Progression Squad

GB Surfing is delighted to announce the five athletes selected for the Progression Squad.

The Progression Squad is a development programme, funded by UK Sport, for young British Surfers who have met the selection criteria (available here) and demonstrated the potential to become future Olympic surfing champions.

Progression Squad athletes will be given a year-round development programme that will include access to top-level coaching, kit, facilities, and training camps, as well as medical support, physiotherapy and help with funding competition entries.

The onboarding process begins next week, and the first two training camps will be in Portugal this November and December. The squad will then head out to the Gold Coast in Australia for a month in January.
