Crest Podcast Ep65 - Alys Barton on her CS Qualification
22 year-old Gower phenom Alys Barton has just made Welsh and British surfing history! Never before has someone from these shores qualified for the WSL Challenger Series, and with a runner-up in the last QS in Morocco, Alys has done just that. She will now go to five global stops to compete against the best the world has to offer. Alys checked in with Tom and Rob this week to chat about her stoke and hopes for the coming season. If you enjoy the episode, please think about making a donation to Alys' Gofundme page for the upcoming travel.
