Mila Barber

    Mila 12 years old super shredder.
    Mila has been surfing since she was 7 years old and love’s it.
    “My younger brother Parker is 7 and
    also surfs. We surf all year round and love to travel to surf spots around the
    world with my mum and dad. I am part of  Newquay Boardriders and am proud
    to say that I have just won the 2025 under 12 Pro Cadet series. I am ranked 4th in Britain after the British Junior Surf Series. I free surf a lot and train
    with various coaches and with my dad, and if I’m not in the sea I’ll be
    skateboarding with friends. I’m super stoked to be on the Alder team and love
    the equipment.”
