Ryder Lucey's Inspiring Journey: Achievements, Goals, and SurfAid Fundraising Efforts

We are delighted to update you on Ryder Lucey, the latest beneficiary of the Mediscrubs Junior Athlete Sponsorship Program. Ryder's unwavering dedication to surfing, coupled with his remarkable achievements and commitment to community initiatives, has earned him a place among the most promising young athletes in the surfing world.

Ryder's affinity for the ocean ignited at the tender age of 6, guided by his father's introduction to the world of surfing at Currumbin. From that initial connection, Ryder's passion was sparked, leading him to ride his first wave and establish an unbreakable bond with the sport. By age 9, Ryder's determination led him to the North End Board Riding Club, where he relentlessly refined his skills under the mentorship of Coach Jay Boyle, eventually setting his sights on competitive events.

In the subsequent years, Ryder's devotion to surfing deepened, culminating in a pivotal decision to pursue a career in the sport. This choice prompted a transition to the Level Up National Action Sports Academy in 2022, a move that not only elevated his surfing prowess but also positively impacted his academic performance.

Beyond his academic and surfing pursuits, Ryder dedicates himself to holistic training. Collaborating with training experts Marcos from Salt Performance Training and Gary Crickshank from Surf Coaching Gold Coast, Ryder focuses on enhancing his physical strength, agility, and mental acuity. Furthermore, Ryder's commitment to community service shines through his active involvement with SurfAid, an organization dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of remote surfing-linked communities.

Ryder's accomplishments in the surfing arena have been commendable, including his victory as the 2022 U16 Age Champion at the North End Boardriding Club and a 4th place finish in the 2022 U18 (Juniors) category. These accolades, combined with previous championship titles, reflect his consistent pursuit of excellence.

Looking forward, Ryder's aspirations for 2023 underscore his ambition and unwavering dedication. His objectives include securing a notable position in a major South East Queensland event, active participation in community-driven initiatives like SurfAid, and nurturing a positive mindset while honing his skills.

In Ryder Lucey, we witness the embodiment of dedication, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Mediscrubs takes pride in supporting this outstanding young athlete as he strives to create ripples in the surfing realm and make a meaningful impact on his broader community.
