Pro surfer Connor O’Leary grew up riding the waves in Australia, but has always felt a strong connection to Japan.
His mother, Akemi, is Japanese, and he also speaks the language.
O’Leary, 27, was born in Australia and is a proud Australian, but his Japanese heritage is an equally important part of his identity. Which is why this year he decided to make it a more visible part of who he is as a surfer by adding the Japanese flag to the Australian one that already adorns his uniform, as a way to represent both nations this year on the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour.

Kyuss King made his first appearance in the surf when he was two years old. ‘I was on the front of my dad’s longboard on small days at The Pass.’
A lot of waves have been surfed since Kyuss was a toddler and now the 20-year-old is looking toward a professional career.
King decided at a very young age that he wanted a life of surfing, he entered his first competition at just eight years of age and won the Surf Dive ‘n Ski Australian junior surfing title a few years later in 2015 with a perfect 10-point wave.
