    Eilir Hughes

    Eilir is one of the best young surfers around having risen through the ranks over the past few years, he has a very fluid style which always looks effortless and likes nothing more than getting hooked into a good barrel! Last years Glass Butter Beach surfing champion and runner up in the North Wales Open he’s definitely one to watch for 2012
     

     Phill Woods

    Always a regular face in the local line-up with strong connections to the surf industry for over 20 years. Owner of Surf Hardware shop Abersoch Watersports and an experienced waterman with a few North Wales Surf Trophies in his cabinet but a firm believer of good surf etiquette in and out of the water! Favourite place to surf is Indonesia and The Basque County.
     

    Urien Hughes

    Urien is the younger brother of Eilir and like most siblings there’s definitely a bit of healthy rivalry there! At just 15 years of age he is already sponsored by local shaper, Upnorth surfing gear. Hot on the heels of his brother he has already posted several competition wins. Last year saw him take first in the juniors section of the North Wales Open and reached the semi finals of the men’s competition! Urien’s fluid style and tricks on the waves are definitely worth watching at this years event
