F NOT FOR HER OLDER BROTHERS, CHELSEA TUACH MIGHT NOT HAVE
FALLEN IN LOVE WITH SURFING. But as the story goes she followed them to
the beach one day, picked up a board and has been riding waves ever since;
well that’s the short version.
BimROCK Magazine caught up to Chelsea while she was on island
taking a short, well-deserved break from competitions (which she has
been winning). This sister of the soil has been flying the Barbados
flag high all over the world for a while now, and shows no signs of
slowing down.
Regionally, Chelsea has won Pro events in Jamaica (Makka
Pro in 2008, 2009 and 2010), Trinidad (Sans Souci Pro in 2009
and 2010) and Barbados (November Pro in 2009 and 2010).
Internationally she has won the National Kidney
Foundation Women’s Pro, in 2010 and 2011 and has been
to the World Junior’s where she won a copper medal.
More recently Chelsea won the Pantin Classic which has
qualified her for the World Championship Tour.
At just 19 years old Chelsea has already
accomplished so much and has a bright future
ahead of her. Like all proud Bajans Chelsea carries
a bit of Barbados wherever she goes but is always
happy to come back home to good food, warm
people and beautiful beaches.
Keep making waves Chelsea, we are all
rooting for you!
