Going Pro

There are more young, gifted pro surfers today than at point in history. Where once there was a handful of young standouts putting it all on the line for a budding surf career, today there are legions of extremely talented children whose lives are devoted entirely to surfing. Their careers get an early start, a few solid junior contest results, a minor sponsorship or two, and then the decision to go all in, to take a chance on the possibility of being surfing's next big thing. Read more about the new narrative of young professional surfers in "Going Pro," a feature in our November Issue, available here: surfermag.com/magazine/november-2013/

I was expecting some different answers like to have fun all the time. Live life to the fullest or surf with all my buddies and get barreled. A little sad

[@jonathanhalloran5350]

Not really, you gotta have that killer instinct to win. Just look at Kelly. Freak? Yeah. But he only won so many titles coz of his competitive nature. That's not sad. If you wanna be a lazy shmo and not talk on Wednesdays and shit that's cool. But I don't think you get as much respect in the long run. Yes that was a jab at Rasta. Apparently he doesn't talk on Wednesdays or something, so anything he says on a Wednesday is profound. Hahaha. That's too funny!

[@Jay-fq8uz]

Jonathan Halloran haha I see what your saying but their kids. You hear about surfers all the time losing their passion for competitive surfing because it was to serious or not fun for them. All the sponors want is money and they dont really care about the surfer himself or herself

[@jonathanhalloran5350]

jack basedgod Hmm it's a fuzzy area no? Especially when kids are involved.
