About me: My name is Aaron and I have been surfing for 12 years. It is what I love and is what I base my life around. My grandpa is the one who got me involved with surfing. He pushed me into my first wave when I was 3 and from there I was hooked. Two things I love besides surfing are the San Francisco Giants because they are the best baseball team ever and Chipotle. I eat at Chipotle on a regular basis and is part of my nutritional diet. I highly recommend the chicken bowl or burrito. They are the two things that get me inspired to start my day along with my venti soy latte from Starbucks. That is a quick description on who Aaron Carrera is.

About me: I was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California but currently reside in Pacific Beach. I’m a senior at San Diego State pursuing a degree in communications with hopes of becoming an entertainment agent. I’ve been surfing pretty much my whole life with my first memories made in the sloppy beach breaks of HB. Since then, I’ve done several trips, competed in several events, and made several life long friendships. I’m also an avid snowboarder, so during the winter months when the surf’s flat, I’m usually somewhere in the mountains. I’m super into music and always playing something flashy and new.  My future goals are to surf everyday, travel, be happy and live life to the fullest.

Sponsors: Flojos, CWB wakeboard, Epic wakeboats, Proline ropes

About me: My goals for now and for the future are enormous.  I want to do all that I can to help the sport of wakeboarding, particularly the female aspect, grow and progress.  I love landing new tricks that no other girls do and the best feeling ever is when I can land them in competitions.  I also love teaching other girls new tricks, whether they may be little girls just learning how to get up or girls I compete against.  At Pro contests, my goal is always to win but even though that does not always happen, I remember what God and my parents have blessed me with and still always try to keep a smile and good attitude no matter what.

About me: As a child, I was lucky enough to grow up next to the beach in Daytona, Florida and was into every board and water sport around, so surfing was a natural progression.  We were always boating, diving, skiing, and fishing and I remember being obsessed with surfing even before I had my first surfboard.  My brother, Richie, and I would watch the older guys surf as we learned to stand up on rafts and boogie boards.  I collected every surf magazine I could get my hands on and even bought wax before I had a board, just knowing I was going to need it.

Our neighborhood crew was very competitive in everything we did and once we all had surfboards, we were either surfing or skateboarding and that was it.  We pushed each other to new heights in skateboarding and the same was true of surfing.  A few of the guys in our neighborhood, including my brother, went on to win quite a few regional comps and titles and started trying to make a career out of it.

I decided to get myself through school first and then see where the surfing career would go - have a safety net.  During college I picked up shaping surfboards as a hobby, then as a way to make extra cash.  I earned a degree in elementary education where I still work today as a third grade teacher.  Teaching gives me the opportunity to put food on the table and travel on my summers off, a close second to a pro career.

About me: Recently I moved back to the San Diego area after living in Haleiwa for six months. I moved there right after my big trip to the Maldives, Malaysia and Bali. I enjoy surfing the consistent rippables waves in North County. I also enjoy working out at the gym, jogging about 3-5 miles a day, yoga-stretch, eating healthy and trying to surf as much as I can. When I'm not surfing, I exercise a lot, do yoga, explore, do photo shoots, work, and volunteer. I'll do the Puerto Rico Surf Series in the Fall if my schedule isn't too conflicting and I want to explore the South Pacific including Tonga, Samoa, Micronesia, Fiji, and New Zealand someday.
