It’s a bold endeavour, determining the planet’s best surfer under the age of 18. Yet each year, Quiksilver‘s Young Guns manages to sift through the chaff and reveal the brightest foam operators of the next generation. Chasing $10k and a free Indonesian excursion, Instagram has been lit with hashtags and lanky frames throwing heat in the hopes of impressing a celeb judging panel that includes Jeremy Flores, Zeke Lau and Mikey Wright. The hifi triage have been scanning the feeds for the wildest #YGCombo, #YGRail and #YGAir posts respectively and have since picked their faves. Yes, we now have a list of Young Guns round one winners.

Throwing down a single banger is cool, and might land yourself in the air or rail feeds, linking two or more with power and flow (or some time in the shade) and tour vet, Jeremy Flores will back your game. There’s a string of intimidating names listed below, most you’ll recognise. While other categories could be had with one freak hit, these kids had the skills to get the multi, stealing the heart of Mr Flores and his combo division:

@samuel_pupo
@riowaida_
@deanvandewalle
@kadematson
@sandywhits
@nickmarshall3
@elihanneman
@kyussking
@callummrobson
@erwanblouin_

Along with the rest of the top 30 (#YGAir revealed shortly), these groms now have a month to compile a few minutes of their wildest water based achievements. You’ll then vote for the featherweight that inspires you most. Groms with the most backing score a ticket to the Indonesian crescendo.
