Oto Beltran Castillo

I’m a 17-year-old surfer from the Maresme coast, just north of Barcelona, Spain, and I’ve been surfing for more than 7 years. Surfing is not just a hobby for me — it has become a huge part of my life and something I genuinely want to keep developing in the years ahead.

I grew up surfing my local spot and know the conditions, reefs, currents and different types of waves extremely well. Over the years, I’ve gone from learning the basics to becoming a confident shortboard surfer, constantly working on my turns, positioning, speed and wave selection. I especially enjoy clean, powerful waves where I can surf aggressively and continue pushing my limits.

What motivates me most is progression. I’m always looking for the next level, whether that means improving a specific manoeuvre, challenging myself in bigger or more powerful conditions, travelling to new waves or simply getting better every time I paddle out. I’m still young, but I’ve already spent many years in the water and I’m very committed to continuing that progression.

I’m currently building my presence as a surfer and looking for opportunities to grow with brands that genuinely connect with surfing, the ocean and an active lifestyle. I want to create an authentic relationship with sponsors rather than simply putting a logo on my equipment. I would be proud to represent a brand that supports my journey, while in return helping showcase its products and values through my surfing, content and everyday life.

I’m particularly interested in surf-related products, equipment, clothing, outdoor brands and companies connected to the ocean and active lifestyles. I’m also motivated to develop my social media presence and create more surf content as I progress.

I believe one of my biggest strengths is that I’m still at the beginning of my journey. A sponsor would not simply be supporting an established athlete — they would have the opportunity to grow alongside a young surfer who is highly motivated, passionate about the sport and determined to see how far he can take it.

My goal is simple: surf as much as possible, keep improving, travel, experience different waves and build a future around the sport I love. I’m looking for a brand that wants to be part of that journey from the beginning.

I’m looking for brands connected to surfing, the ocean, outdoor sports and an active lifestyle. My ideal sponsor is a brand that believes in supporting young athletes and wants to build a genuine long-term relationship rather than simply placing a logo on an athlete.

I’m particularly interested in surf equipment, surfwear, wetsuits, accessories, outdoor clothing, sunglasses, footwear and other products that naturally fit my lifestyle.

I’m open to working with both established brands and smaller companies that want to grow alongside a young surfer. Authenticity is important to me, and I want to represent products that I genuinely use and believe in.

Support would help me continue progressing as a surfer by contributing towards surf equipment, boards, fins, wetsuits, travel and other costs directly related to surfing.

It would also help me create more consistent surf content and develop my presence as a young athlete.
