Often seen coming out of the water with two halves of a once whole long board and a smile, this inspiring water guy isn’t afraid to send it when the wave of the set rolls in. Often accompanied by his tribe of kids and rolling in a lowered 4runner, if you see them driving in town, it’s a good bet that they are headed to the beach.
