Born into a family of kitesurfers, there was never a question of whether or not Tom Bridge was going to follow suit. The Bridge family has a long and successful history in the sport. His mum, Steph, is a five-time kite race World Champion and ranked as the number one woman in the world. His dad, Eric, has worked in the water sports industry for most of his life and is one of the founders of the BKSA Instructor Training Scheme.
Tom may be the youngest member of the Bridge family, however, his skill on a board is seldom matched by anyone else his age and he has become a role model for many young kiters. He has been European freestyle Youth Champion on multiple occasions and won the 2013 and 2014 PKRA Youth World Championships.
