Beginning competition wakeboarding before his 10th birthday, Dylan clinched a victory against older rivals in a national meet in Canberra earlier this month and said his dream was to make a career of his passion.

Dylan said the heatwave conditions prompted him to extend his stay with family and friends at White Sands Riverfront Caravan Park for several days before returning to home in Adelaide.
