With a win at the Taranaki Longboard Classic and a second-place finish in Oceania Qualifying, he’s ready to compete against the best, aiming for the world title at Huntington Beach, Bells Beach, and La Union. Though he’s broke and hunting sponsors to cover the $10K–$15K tour costs, Tyro’s got fire in his soul and a whole ocean of potential ahead.
