Tom Lowe is the Big Wave Challenge Surfer of the Year!

We are stoked to announce our team rider Tom Lowe has earned himself the title of Big Wave Challenge Surfer of the Year. Tom has been on an incredible journey over the last couple of years with extreme ups and downs, coming back from 2 near death experiences. Despite this Tom has had a phenomenal year that saw him score the biggest wave ever paddled at Mullaghmore this winter.

Tom also put it all on the line in Mexico where he pulled into and made one of the heaviest and longest barrel rides, we have ever seen at Puerto Escondido.

As always, he has really put the work in this year and it's great to see him earn the recognition he deserves. We are so proud to see Tom putting Cornwall on the map like this, raising the profile of UK surfers and the thriving surf culture here in the UK. We can't wait to see what's next for Tom and we will be there supporting him along the way.

We have embedded Tom's acceptance speech below which starts at 2 hours 11 minutes.
