YOUNG Tiree surfer Ben Larg is flying the flag for Scotland this week in Japan.
The 12-year-old from Balemartine is representing his country at the ISA World Junior Surfing Championships in Hyuga from September 23 to October 1 after clinching a national title.
Ben finished second in the U16 finals of the Scottish National Surfing Championships, behind Tiree’s other champion young surfer, Finn MacDonald of Balevullin, earlier this year at the beach break of Dunnet Bay, Thurso.
