Born Hanalei. Surfing was everywhere Harry grew up and he quickly came to love it. Surfed a 10 ft wave when he was 10, 11 at 11, 12 at 12, has kept the streak going strong every year. Looking forward to being 30. Believes surfing should be for the soul, not trophies. His calm, friendly demeanor has won him countless friends and surfin’ partners. Pipeline Pearl insists Harry has surfing, “all figured out.” Idolizes legendary surfer Waikiki Woodie, a retiree who spends his days surfing everywhere in Hawaii with his dog, Curl. Spots Woodie’s famed “Wagon” often driving into sunsets. Despite his best efforts, has yet to catch up with Woodie and Curl, but looks forward to meeting them.

Born Port Elizabeth, now Gqeberha. Enjoyed countless family trips to J-Bay where he learned to love surfing. But watching planes at nearby Stuurman formed his dream to work on planes. Studied hard, earned his Engineering degree at Durban, then headed to Embry-Riddle in America to pursue his master’s in aerospace engineering. First job after graduating was helping maintain planes for the Blue Angels. Became good friends with Long Beach Larry. Larry had always wanted to surf J-Bay and was thrilled to meet a fellow surfer who had practically grown up there. Their first experience surfing J-Bay together was over the top. Now they get together and go there every year.

Born Newport (Rhode Island, but Naomi often keeps that a secret). Varied interests when growing up. Eventually settled on three priorities: surfing, music, and visiting every Newport on the planet. So far, 25 down including many in the UK, but still 39 to go! Never seems to stay in one place too long. On a constant adventure across the world searching for great beaches, especially any Newport, and new friends. Known for her cheery attitude and skill with her beloved acoustic guitar and tenor sax.

Born North Carolina on the Outer Banks—OBX to many. Parents were wide-ranging surfers, settled in North Carolina long enough for Olivia to be born. From the time she walked and swam, Olivia was clearly a surfing prodigy. Often stayed up at night with her parents, watching videos of great surfers like Bali Bobbi and Surf City Sally. Would work their moves into her routines in the coming days. Excelled in school, earned a master’s degree in physics (which she insists has helped perfect her Carves) at Stanford, captained the Cardinals surf team! Often found at surfing competitions, dazzling spectators and frustrating her competition. Enjoys competing with Trestles Tim.

Born San Diego. Won his first major surf competition before he mastered multiplication tables. His Mom likes to tell everyone on the beach it was before Tim could walk, but that’s just his Mom exaggerating again. Proud of his radical tricks and stylish moves. Lost a competition to J-Bay Jack…once…and never since—though being over 10,000 miles apart doesn’t give J-Bay Jack too many chances to make it two. Loves all three Trestles: typically warms up at Upper, relaxes at Middle, sometimes stops at The Church on his way to Lower Trestles to compete. Was elated when the California Brown Pelican was removed from the endangered species list a decade ago.
Mantra: “Live to surf, surf to win!”
