Hey there, surf fans! Have you heard the latest? Tya Zebrowski, a 14-year-old prodigy, has just etched her name in the history books by becoming the youngest ever CT qualifier. This incredible feat came after she powered through the round of 48 in Saquarema, proving that age is just a number when you’ve got talent like hers.
What’s even more jaw-dropping is that we’re only halfway through the fifth of seven events this season, and Tya has already secured her spot. Her finals day strike rate is nothing short of perfection - even on her debut last season, she snagged runner-up in Ericeira. Talk about making waves!
Let’s dive into Tya’s 2025 stats, shall we? This teen sensation has racked up a first in Ericeira, a second at the USO in Huntington, a third in Newcastle, and a fifth in Ballito. That’s a resume that would make even seasoned CT veterans sit up and take notice - especially with Bells on the horizon.
"Wow, just 14 and already unstoppable! Huge congrats, Tya - you’re inspiring us all!" - Gabriel Medina, 3x World Champ
Medina’s shout-out on social media says it all. Tya’s not just competing; she’s redefining what’s possible at her age. And trust us, the surf world is buzzing with excitement over this rising star.
If you thought her rankings were impressive, wait until you hear about her skills. At Stab High Japan in 2024, Tya wowed everyone with her air game, landing clean air reverses both frontside and backside. Pair that with her knack for navigating Tahiti’s shallow, tubing reef passes and France’s diverse beach breaks, and you’ve got a surfer with virtually no weak spots.
The women’s tour next season? It’s going to be absolutely electric with Tya in the mix. We can’t wait to see how she shakes things up against the big names. So, keep your eyes on this young queen - she’s just getting started, and we’re all here for the ride!
