Hailing form the soft sand beaches of North County San Diego, Sean Taylor has made his mark in the surf scene as one of the most stylish play-boys to step foot on Ponto Beach. With a long list of accolades, Sean has proven himself both in and out of the water from frequenting the pages of Surfshot Magazine to smashing heats in local WQS events; this 23 year-old heart throb is more than just talk.

Sean grew up perfecting his forehand cut back and gaining competitive knowledge alongside Carlsbad's finest, Taylor Knox. With a mentor like that, there is no wonder he has hit the surfing world by storm. Whether he is out on the town or up early for the dawn patrol at any one of SD's famed locations, Sean is representing Rip Curl to the fullest. In his spare time you can find him up on a high beam or jumping off buildings as this veteran daredevil lives a second life as a stunt man and happens to be one of the best in the business. Between traveling for surfing and stunt jobs he has been getting around and that is sure to continue as Rip Curl is all about the Search Sean is living.

Let it be known that ST may be caught running around movie sets, but when he hits the water there is no mistake, this guy can surf. Sean is a one of a kind surfer, so look for him to continue ripping through the 'QS ranks, local San Diego events, and poppin' his face in the mags every chance he gets.
