BIOGRAPHY:  Rhys has grown up with the surf right outside his front door.

With only a year of competition surfing behind him, Rhys has done really well to have been picked up by Quiksilver after the Quiksilver King of the Grom series in summer 09.

At such a young age he's already surfed France, Morocco and Portugal, and is soon off to Barbados. Rhys says "I love everything about surfing, and hope in the future to improve as much as possible, travel, meet people, and win competitions."
