Purpose of this thread:
Increase awareness of WA's young talent. Age bracket up to 25 years old.

Post up vids or links up.

I'll start with Jaeger Stone:



20yo pretty well known, signed with Severne.

Matt Gwynne:

Hendrix Stone

2nd in juniors 2010 LOC wavecomp

Has anyone got footage of Hendrix Stone, Matt Gwynne, Jet Furguson or Bray Baker or any other groms? Felix Spencer a young grom from Esperance is currently shooting for a spono vid I'll try get hold of it!

There's a couple of groms down at Melville. Will seems to be doing pretty well. I also saw some super midget fanging around a while ago. He must have been 8 or 9 years old and he was blasting around having a great time.
Oh yeah, small technical issue Pricey. 25 is a bit old for a grom. I reckon you finish being a grom when you're 18.

Yeah I agree, but I figured since Jaeger is 20, to keep things rolling thread wise I put it up a bit. Keen for more footage/pics! : )

Hendrix has always been sponsored by Stone Sailboards, (SSD) . F2 forgot to pay me for stickering up my boards to look like theirs. His new sponsor for sails is Ezzy.
He is absolutely rippin and gets his license in a couple of weeks.

Only in the windsurf industry would this happen. F@!k F2 and any other brands that are operate that way.

I'm sure that Jaeger's "*boards" would also bear close resemblance to his old man's thrusters on closer inspection

Alister McLeod is this guy:



I know you mean Alastair McLeod haha

Here's an old vid of his:



And his Summer 2010 one:


Alister is a SHQ teamrider.
He took out the Wave Nationals in 2009.

I can't find any other bio on him. Sure he's WA? Judging by his spono's he seems Victorian.

P.S. To put vids up just post up the direct link (in address bar). The forum does all the rest of the hard work.
