Help Propel 2 Surfing Prodigies to Global Success

Written by Coach Jason Apparicio:

For over a decade, I've had the privilege of traveling across the Caribbean and the world, training young athletes with the potential to become professional surfers, developing their technique and providing guidance on their surf ambitions. Throughout my journey, I've encountered many talented individuals, but none have captivated me quite like Cheyenne and Chayton, two extraordinary siblings. At their young age, their natural talent as well as their innate ability to take and incorporate coaching instructions into their repertoire make them ideal candidates for future surf professionals.

**Cheyenne: A Surfing Phenomenon at 11**

At just 11 years old (now 12 years old at the time of this posting), Cheyenne has already made waves in the surfing world. This season (2023), she dominated the French events in her category, securing her rank as number one in the under-12 category of the French Surfing Federation. Her achievements don't stop there; she claimed the French title in the RipCurl®️ Grom Search, placed 4th in the European rankings, and triumphed in 5 out of the 6 events she competed in across Europe. Back home in Tobago, she recently clinched both the Junior Women's and Women's titles and made a groundbreaking semi-final appearance in the Men's Open category, an unprecedented feat for a female athlete.

**Chayton: A Rising Star at 9**

Chayton, only 9 years old, is already following in his sister's footsteps. He emerged as the youngest national champion in the junior division, showcasing an incredible talent that promises a bright future.

**A Dream at the Crossroads**

While their talent and dedication are limitless, there's a significant hurdle on their path to global success: financial constraints. The journey to international competitions and training camps requires resources that are beyond their current means.

**Your Support Can Make a Difference**

By contributing to this campaign, you're not just supporting Cheyenne and Chayton's dreams; you're investing in the future of surfing and inspiring young athletes worldwide. Every donation, big or small, brings them one step closer to achieving their global aspirations and continuing to break barriers in the sport.
