PRO SURFERS

PROGRESSION
SQUAD

In December 2020, GB Surfing received Progression funding from UK Sport. This funding was to propel the sport forward, empowering us to assemble a squad that’s primed for podium positions at future Olympic Games.

The GB Surfing Progression Squad is made up of young male and female surfers who have got the potential to become future Olympians. The squad will receive specialist coaching and training in the UK and abroad, as well as access to cutting-edge equipment and technology.

We want every one of our athletes to be the best surfer they can possibly be. That’s why we offer them support and guidance at every stage of the process, so that they can unlock their full potential.
