The Welsh Dragon


We have little Jo Morris from Bridgend in Wales riding for us and just couldn't resist putting up these pics of his latest Quiver.

The Welsh Open took place at Freshwater West over the weekend of 23-24th of April 11, It was the biggest group of groms under 12's that had ever taken place and Jo was the youngest by 2 - 3 years.

The competition started on the Saturday and Jo had to qualify through 3 rounds of heats to get into the final on the Sunday, he came first in two of the heats and second in the third. During the Saturday he also took part in the under 14's contest where he finished 5 overall. On the final of the under 12's Jo surfed very well and finished a credible second in his category behind a Quicksilver team rider who was 3 year older than Jo.

Jo started surfing at the age of 7. He attended a taster session at BC Surf school Bridgend, he loved it and has been surfing ever since. He attends sessions with his trainer Sam Moore every day through the summer and evening sessions through the winter. He also goes to California surfing every October with his family. His ambition is to be a professional surfer, to win as many competitions as he can and to travel the world surfing. Keep an eye out for this little dragon!!!
