RIDERS

Adamm Bird

I first met Adamm out at early season Backdoor six or so years ago. He was a charger back then and still is now. But he has, as many will agree, become amazing with his aerial antics … punting big reverses on some critical stuff out North. He gets higher than guys half his size, [...]

Anthony Olayon

“Anthony is a nerd who likes weird things like holga cameras, lomography, alaia boards, school, books, recycling, short Patagonia surf shorts, long hair and bodyboarding helmets. He mostly surfs incognito, doesn’t like crowds and apparently his best surf sessions are when he’s the only one out. But if you ever got to surf with him [...]

Recently added to the Science Hawaii team and Viper Fins team, Christina [...]



Brandon Rosa

“Brandon, flat out, loves to bodyboard. It shows because with all the responsibilities of the day job and his family (including the “keiki”), and the burden of cutting through the afternoon traffic to make it out to The Country, he is always shining out at OTW every time that it’s on. He’s one of those [...]



Warren Anderson

As I’ve become good friends with Warren over the years, I’ve learned that he is an insightful, humble, and “mellow” person. Although, ironically, if you’ve seen him surf, “mellow” would be the last word that comes to mind when describing what he does in the water. He always goes for it, whether rushing or punting [...]
