Help local surfing talent make it to Peru!

By day, Reen is a L2 Carpentry apprentice in Camborne but when he’s at home in Newquay, he just so happens to surf for England’s U18 Junior team.

Now in his last year on the team, Reen will be closing out 2025 in style at the ISA World Surfing Games in Peru.

Working as an apprentice 5 days a week isn’t quite enough to cover the many costs associated with attending such a big event over 6000 miles away, so Reen is hoping to Crowdfund the majority of the costs.

Donating £25 or more will automatically enter you into a competition to win some surfing gear and apparel from some top brands!

(see crowdfunding page for more info and t’s and c’s)

With the Crowdfunder closing on the 14th, we would love to see this wonderful student make it to the biggest event of his life… So far!

Head to the Crowdfunder website and search 'Reen'
