Goodbye!

One for the future

With only three months of decent weather in Britain every year, it is hardly surprising that surfing is more popular in Australia and America.

That, however, will not prevent thousands of people converging on Devon and Cornwall for late summer holidays. Among them will be 16-year-old Reubyn Ash, a Briton tipped to become a star of the waves.

Ash has been surfing since the age of three, when his parents introduced him to the surf. By the age of four, he could outsurf his four sisters and older brother, winning the first competition he entered three years later. He came to prominence in British surfing when, at the age of 13, he won a Pro Junior under-20 title. The highlight of his career so far came in France two years ago, when he became under-14 European champion.

Having finished his school exams, he has decided that the best thing for his career is to compete regularly against the world’s best surfers. In October he will travel to Australia to spend six months training there, competing on the Australian pro junior circuit. After Australia, he will continue his surfing education in Indonesia, before rejoining the European pro junior tour next year.

What one factor makes Australia and America better places for surfing than Britain?

… The weather. …

How old was he when he first won a competition?
