TYLER
WRIGHT

Tyler Wright (born March 31, 1994) is a highly competitive and talented Australian surfer from a family of gifted surfers. The younger sister of professional surfer Owen Wright, Tyler is the 2016 WSL Women's World. Wright, from a close-knit surfing family, grew up at Culburra Beach, a surf spot about two hours south of Sydney near Nowra. Her four siblings are Owen, Kirby, Mikey, and Tim. Parents Rob, a passionate surfer, and Fiona used to drive the whole family around Australia following the amateur scene. Wright showed precocious talent and at just 14 she overtook multiple champions, some twice her age, to become the youngest-ever winner of a Championship Tour event, Layne Beachley's Beachley Classic in 2008. Australian ABC featured her in their biographic documentary program Australian Story on national television, March 2017. This is Tyler’s personal competition board, shaped for her by Matt Biolos.
