INTERVIEWS & TEAM

Mark Richards is surfing royalty. Not only for achieving four consecutive World Titles but for also pioneering a radical approach to wave riding made possible by his famous twin fin designs.

Known globally as ‘Sis’, Kelia is revered for her gracefully smooth style on a longboard and her versatile aquatic talents on many varieties of surf craft.

She’s also highly respected as a positive role model for girls and women everywhere - all traits FCS was excited to embrace.

The past few months have been historic and packed with excitement for the young surfer from Kugenuma Beach, with two major goals becoming a reality.

In the last two years Caroline Marks has disrupted the tour with a fierce rail game and a radical approach that’s left the WCT women shaking in their wetsuits.

Jeremy Flores was always going to be the hometown favourite at the 2019 Quiksilver Pro. Here’s a surfer who wears his heart on his sleeve, is constantly improving, and who undeniably rips! It’s a combo that’s made Jezza one of the most likable surfers with the fans and also his tour comrades.

Every once and while a kid turns up with an old soul. A soul that sees past the trophies, past the contest jerseys and the pursuit of world domination.

Instead, they seem to possess an intrinsic connection to the ocean and the freedom to surf uninhibited by the pursuit of points.
