Pat Gudauskas, the older twin brother of Dane by approximately three minutes, is the lone regular footer in the Gudauskas family. There must be an aviator or stunt man back in the family gene pool because he punts some serious airs. Not your standard issue ones mind you. Rodeo flips, air 360s with extra twists, and every kind of grab.

He finished off his illustrious amateur career with a win at the 2003 NSSA Nationals by doing a sick tailslide and then capping off the wave with a clutch 360 air. And his go-for-broke approach has stuck with him while climbing the WQS ranks.

In June of 2009, he surfed in one of the most impressive Finals heats in WQS history vs. Australia's Owen Wright in the 6-Star Prime Sri Lankan Airlines Pro held at Pasta Point in the Maldives. Pat managed to pull a Rodeo Clown in the final, but alas, it still wasn't enough for the win. His 18.94 points out of a possible 20 was one reason why the Final was considered so historic. One thing is clear, Pat is on the forefront of the progressive movement in surfing.
