Welcome to the team!

Scottish surfer and triathlete Israel Noble grew up in Fraserburgh alongside his younger brother Gabriel, immersed in a surf-loving family. Thriving in Scotland’s raw and unpredictable conditions, he has developed a sharp, competitive style that recently earned him the U18 Scottish Surfing Champion title. While also introduced to triathlon by his dad at age eight, and still very dedicated to this demanding sport, surfing remains his anchor, from chasing waves at Thurso East to sharing memorable sessions with family.

Gabriel Noble began surfing in 2020 and has quickly risen through the ranks, already representing Scotland at the 2024 European Junior Championships. Based in Fraserburgh, he was hooked from his first wave and now thrives on Scotland’s challenging conditions, always keeping it fun no matter the forecast. With a love for airs, foiling, and chasing perfect reef breaks, Gabriel embodies a positive spirit, reminding us all that the best surfer is the one having the most fun.

What happened in the Salty Community?

No. 1

Our Big Air riders Charles Brodel and Josh Gillitt went all-in at this year’s Red Bull King of the Air competition. Riding his foil, Charles kicked things off against reigning world champion and eventual winner, Lorenzo Casati. He moved to round two, packing his heat with ten powerful tricks, but bowed out by just 0.28 points. Josh also saw his run end in round two, leaving absolutely everything on the water. We couldn’t be prouder of the performance, progression, and heart these two put on display!

No. 2: Local Adventures

Yann Quilfen knows how to put every part of his foil to work, Brittany-style.
Always with salted butter, of course.

No. 3

After clinching the European title a few weeks ago, French surfer Eric Dargent became Vice-World Champion in Surf Stand3 for the fifth time in his career during the 2025 Para Surfing World Championships in Oceanside, California. On top of it, the French squad claimed the team title in the overall rankings for the third time in a row!

No. 4

Massive congrats to Catalina Turienzo for winning gold at the 2025 Formula Kite Youth World Championships in the Azores. Turienzo, already a double youth world champion, was determined to defend her crown and did just that!

Maxime Chabloz was on fire at the GKA Kite World Tour Freestyle World Cup Taíba 2025! Coming in as the reigning world champion, he delivered clean tricks, incredible height, and flawless execution, even earning the sole 10.0 of the entire meet on his massive Backmobe 9. After three days of steady winds and fierce competition, Maxime finished 3rd in an all-time high-level final.
