Joel & Hugh Vaughan

Joel & Hughie, the brothers from North Shelly beach hailed by many as the future of Australian surfing, have a sibling rivalry looking to heat up at Surfest. Having found themselves on the same side of the draw in 2024, Hughie will be looking forward to the chance to take down his big bro and reigning champ in Joel after having a semi-final finish last year.

“We haven’t really been head to head for a while, but we were close last year. We had a deal that if we both made the final we’d go switch on our first wave.”
