Raw and powerful best describes Braden Dias' Hawaiian brand of surfing. A bulldog bred in the pit, as a youth he played on the wild coasts of Kauai's west side. Big beaches with no one around allowed him to hone his skills and match power with power. On Kauai your life depends on it, there ain't no lifeguards. His youth has more competitive background than most know of, and his skills still shine through today in the large arenas. Once a member of Hawaii's world team, Braden continues to surf circles around many of the worlds best when the circus comes to town. With home always being Kauai, he now resides on the North Shore of Oahu to stand tall in biggest barrels. The cameras love him. He is our Pipeline specialist and at the top of his field out there. An Eddie Aikau invitee and competitor, Braden knows how to perform and put on a show at all levels. Real surfer, real surfing. Nuff said
