ASP Addict

Our ASP Addict has been surfing since he was a grom, and, as you can see, he can shred pretty well himself. He started surfing on a boogie board as a kid, but much prefers his current quiver, from a 5'11" Firewire Flexfire to a 7'2" Sauritch gun. In addition to surfing, Addict follows the ASP World Tour religiously. He's surfed everywhere from California and Iceland to Long Island, Rhode Island, Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico and France.
