My name is Wheeler Hasburgh, I'm a 19 year old Canadian born surfer who grew up and learned to surf in Sayulita, Mexico. I am currently ranked in the top 10 of the WSL North America Qualifying Series, with a goal to qualify for the Challenger Series.

Taking place at a famous double over-head left point break in the Dominican Republic, in a mixed field of the 56 top competitive surfers in the North America Qualifying Series Circuit, I had an amazing opportunity to compete and come away with the win in the 2024 WSL Cabarete Mens Pro QS1000, My first international pro career win.
The Rip Curl CANAM Canadian National Championship takes place in Tofino, B.C. where pro Canadian surfers compete for a official national title and a qualifying spot in the Canadian Olympic Surf team. For back to back years, I became the Mens Canadian National Champion for two years in a row.
I have been working with Brad and doing Wave Ki for the past 4 years. I wouldn't be the surfer I am today without Brad's detailed approach to surfing, and the Wave Ki program. Brad's Wave Ki program consists of slow, technical movements on land that builds full body awareness to control the surfboard freely, in any way you want, and teaches you to harness the power of the waves when you get back into the ocean and surf.

I've developed a strong relationship with Xanadu over the past few years. Xanadu is one of the best surfboard craftsman in the world of surfing. He's been famously shaping surfboards for over 50 years, and has traveled the globe revolutionizing his models and crafts. I am grateful to closely work with him and make some of the fastest surfboards in the world.
Jack is my strength and conditioning coach who teaches FRC and is also the teacher in the Wave Ki Body program. He teaches individuals how to build "invincible" joints so they can enjoy a lifetime of Pain-Free High Performance.
