Youngest-surfing-champion-aged - EIGHT

A schoolboy has triggered a tsunami of excitement after being hailed the 'youngest surfing champion in the UK' aged just eight.
Gifted Ollie Turrell was first taken surfing at 18 months by his dad Richie, a Royal Navy lieutenant.
He quickly developed a talent for the sport and beat a local surf team and several adults - including his dad - to take first place in a competition when he was six.
