In a world of hyperbole, it's easy to gravitate to people who shout the loudest. Beau Young bucks that trend. Modest and understated, he is a true gentleman with a deep passion for surfing and its history. Onshore or offshore. 2ft or 10ft. He's in the water more than the frothiest of groms. We're proud to host Beau when he visits the UK. After a few trips, he's become more than a visitor. He's a big part of the team here at OPEN, and it is epic to see a growing community of surfers stoked on his boards. Sadly, Beau is heading home in a few weeks. We've got eight spots left for custom boards before he goes. So if you want one - grab it while you can. Brilliant photos by @samrogerss
