For Episode 10 we tuned in with a genuine surfing champion, with the legendary and unmistakable initials of MR. Now, I’m not talking about Australian surfing icon Mark Richards, but instead British surfing hero, Melissa Reid.

Melissa, much like her Australian counterpart is not your average surfer. Melissa is a 2x World Champion in the AmpSurf ISA World Para Surfing Championships - making her Britain’s only ever Surfing World Champion. 

She is the first visually impaired female to have a surfing world title and the first British person to ever win a world title in surfing. She is also a Paratriathlete and Olympic bronze medallist - and in my eyes one of the most interesting surfing figures of the moment.
