With the amount of toob vision young Hughie has collected in the vid above, I get the feeling his parents haven’t been too rigorous with the homeschooling during the COVID school shutdowns. 

With reputable stickers on his board already, three older brothers that all rip and the extremely powerful local board riders at his home beach North Shelly (Central Coast, NSW, Australia), Hughie has all the makings of the next Michael Jordan.
