At Upstate, supporting local talent has always been part of who we are.

Continuing that journey with us is Mateo.With 18 wins and 11 by knockout, and now signed with Zuffa Boxing, Mateo is taking his career to the international stage from his base in Florida.

We also want to acknowledge two outstanding athletes we’ve had the privilege of supporting.

Vaughn, ranked #1 in Australia, has competed globally in the Mammut Freeride World Championships, while Rene has travelled internationally with Billabong and secured multiple first-place finishes across local and state competitions.

We’re incredibly proud of what they’ve achieved and grateful to have been part of their journey.

As we look ahead, we’re excited to support the next generation of athletes coming through.

What connects this group is trajectory. Some are already competing internationally. Others are rising quickly through national ranks. All are committed to pushing further — and represent the next wave of talent coming out of the Northern Beaches.
