This week we are in Australia the land of the probably the most concentrated surf breaks per square mile out of anywhere in the world. The quality of the surf is phenomenal and with a current hot topic right now, why would they even have wave parks when you have every type of beach, reef, slab and point break going on your door top..... just watch the debate unfold with the first wave park to open in the UK, waste or wish list..... What's so fantastic is the phenomenal rise of woman's bodyboarding, they go as hard as the men, charge just as big and in my opinion they are the future of our sport as we know it, please let me introduce to you one of the riders helping progress this.....

This weeks rider loves nothing more than charging some of the heaviest waves on the planet and he can do so in his own back yard. Hawaii being his home and the love and support of his family means this young man has every chance of being another firm prospect on the APB in years to come.

Charging maxing Nazare and heavy shore breaks alike with zero fear and being so young I have no doubt one day we will see him dominating on the APB world tour! He's already been hanging with some Pros and has the full support from his mum and dad to follow his dream, watch out for big things..... Please let me introduce you...... "Hi, my name Is Mika Justino, I’m 12 years old and i’m from Durban, South Africa. I started bodyboarding when I was 9 years old....... At the time when I was 9 years o
