Francis Meade

Another of the junior brigade, Francis has shot through the ranks in recent years, surfing well against older and more experienced surfers than himself. Born on Phillip Island, Francis spends as much time in the water as possible, between school and other sporting commitments. On weekends he is at the beach, or skateboarding, which initially got him into surfing. Francis spends a few weeks a year up North, surfing breaks like Crescent Head and Point Plummer. His favourite spots are Woolamai, Kitty Miller Bay, or wherever else there are waves.
