I grew up as an ocean child. My parents had a house on the beach in Leucadia, CA and I spent most of my
time playing in the Pacific Ocean. This is when I learned to bodysurf. I started competing in bodysurfing in
1981 and have only missed one year since then. There are usually two contests a year that I compete in;
Carlsbad International Bodysurfing Contest and the World Bodysurfing Championships. I have made the
finals in my age group in both contests each year except for one. I will only highlight my victories in these
contests. If you need a more detailed list of results please let me know.
World Bodysurfing Championships
*2 time Grand Champion
*9 time age division champion
Carlsbad International Bodysurfing Championships
*7 time Grand Champion
*10 time age division champion
I have also traveled many areas of the world bodysurfing and board surfing. Some of these places include:
Hawaii, Mainland & Baja Mexico, Costa Rica, & England.
WAVE BLADES
I have just begun playing with my Wave Blades and find that they are much faster than traditional
bodysurfing. The speed that is generated by the use of Wave Blades is incredible. I still need practice to
fine tune some maneuvers that I've been working on. I also have friends that have improved their
bodysurfing ten fold by the use of Wave Blades. They are great for getting the planing feeling over the
surf.
