Shredding for Positivity
CRUZ
Advocate for Positivity and Clean Oceans
Cruz is a dedicated advocate for the ocean and his community. His passion for surfing in Santa Cruz goes beyond just riding the waves; he actively supports local organizations that make a difference. As a proud Stoke Rider since the beginning, Cruz not only excels in competitions but also exemplifies the values of commitment and community service both in and out of the water.
If you happen to catch Cruz out in the lineup, give him a shout out as I'm sure he'd love to share the STOKE!
Steve & Rippin Rosie
Sharing STOKE on every Wave!
If you've ever surfed with Steve and Rippin Rosie out at Pleasure Point, there is a very high chance you walked away with your STOKE meter filled up. The energy, the passion for community and inclusiveness of others is what makes them stand out. Not only do they charge some serious sets, they are huge advocates for Choke Stoke in and out of the water to help community organizations get the awareness and support they deserve.
If you've never shared a wave before because of old school rules, don't worry, they are more than welcoming in sharing the STOKE with others! Just make sure you aren't shoulder hopping on a bomb set as they will need the speed to keep down the line. Just give them a shoutout to keep the STOKE alive!
SEB
An athlete beyond the break
Seb shreds. Talented beyond the waves as his talent extends to skate, bmx, tennis and more. His dedication to each and every sport is what makes Seb truly stand out. Not only is he a rad ripper in the water, his inclusive nature is what brings kids together in a positive way. You can find Seb scoring some secret breaks at the beaches or at Pleasure Point.
If you see him in the lineup, please give him a shoutout and you are bound to get a smile and shaka in return!
Joey
Stoke is my middle Name
Dedication, passion and STOKE is what drives Joey to the ocean. Joey found his passion for surfing after witnessing the impact it had on others. He instantly fell in love with the ocean, the waves and an occasional outside set pounding which never stopped him from charging. Beyond the surf break, he makes a massive impact on the community with his focus on youth sports and through his day job in parks and recreation.
If you see Joey in the lineup, be sure to give him a shoutout and say hi to all three of his friends also named Nick! It's group shred session!
