JOB is obviously a very very talented surfer and way above the average QS guy.

I'm just impressed at how long he has managed to stay relevant with his Vlog. He gets 100K plus views easily. Still sponsored by Red Bull and is closing in on 40.
he's a stoking sh!t peddler like gravy, can only imagine the amount of softboards these two sell :monkey:

strider seems to have cashed in to the bank on his surfing career. paid travel, sits in the water, catches 'em between heats.
what's not to love?
I remember meeting Strider when he was 14/15. He's done well for himself.

How about Ryan Burch? Way more famous and making $ as a shaper than a competer.
And then we got Joe Bark, probably never even entered a surf contest, but dominates in the paddle board market..

Blast from the past, Greg Chilew (sp?) aka Bullfrog, at Scorpion Bay. That guy schooled my crew when we were kids.

I also remember surfing against one of RVCA guys.
Umm, Scott Farnsworth, Jeff Booth, Gary Clisby, Danny Kwock?

Buzzy Kerboz
The George brothers, :toilet:

And finally, Scott Bass, pro Longboarder.

Buzzy and Laird both made huge amounts of money from being male models.

Laird Hamilton seems to be rich sales lots of food and fitness type stuff
I replied to someone else but he made a majority of his money on modeling and that allowed him to invest into food/fitness stuff.

Plus his wife Gabbrielle Reece is pretty well off too from her modeling career

Their great grandfather is Rube Hoffman, founder of Hoffman California Fabrics in 1924. Set from birth. They are rad though.
