We're stoked to sponsor Aaron's competitive surfing career and social advocacy. His outstanding work ethic and love of surfing is helping him achieve his goals every season, and in turn he's inspiring us to achieve ours. He's a great representative of the sport, and an important advocate for adaptive surfers everywhere.
