Rylan Beavers

Meet Rylan Beavers: Professional surfer, Kaua‘i born and raised, often seen repping an old school Andy Irons t-shirt and proof that quiet confidence still goes a long way.

Rylan Beavers is 19 and from the north shore of Kaua‘i. If you’ve ever surfed with him, you know. He’s different.

There’s no big talk, no big ego. He just paddles out, scores the wave of the day, makes it look easy, and still make it back to the beach in time for his mie goreng. Everything’s clean. His timing, his flow, the way he reads a section, truely it looks like second nature. But the people who know him know it’s not just natural talent. He’s been putting in work for years and he's seriously committed.

He’s one of those surfers who doesn’t need attention to know he’s on the right track. The surfing speaks. Sponsors are backing him, edits are getting sharper, and he’s been out on the QS grind. Solo missions, red-eye flights, heats in unfamiliar lineups. And through all of it, he holds the same approach: stay focused, stay humble, keep showing up.

The surf world’s changing. These days it’s all a fashion show, vlogs, and lifestyle campaigns. Nothing wrong with it, but core surfing gets drowned out in the noise.

Rylan doesn’t play that game. He’s not trying to sell an image. He’s building a career on real surfing. He shows up, he puts in work, and he lets the surfing speak for itself. He’ll get up early, surf heavy conditions most won’t touch, and spend the rest of the day making sure his boards are dialled, mind’s clear, body’s ready. That’s the difference. Not just how good he is, but how seriously he takes it. Quiet discipline. He once told the founder of HELIX that if he's going to do this shit, he's going to do it right. If you want to know just how core he is - ask to see his tattoo. 

“My main goal right now is to be competing with the best in the world. I want to be all in with what I'm doing.”

— Rylan, Surfer

If you surf, you know how rare that combo is, raw ability, real commitment, and no ego. That’s why we back him.

Friends of HELIX isn’t about the loudest in the room. It’s about people who are locked in, doing what they love with intent. People who don’t just perform when it’s easy, but when it’s hard. Travel days, flat spells, three heats in a day. When you need to stay sharp and clear without burning out. That’s where HELIX fits in. It’s just something that helps Rylan keep his edge when he’s in the zone.

He’s not out here for attention. He’s out here to surf his best. And he’s just getting started.
