Underrated aerialist Ryan Carlson has just inked a deal with Katin USA.

There's no shortage of talent in Surf City, but any HB local can tell you that Carlson is one of the best aerial surfers in town. Since his town is Huntington Beach, that puts Ryan into a pretty elite category.

Since Ryan never went down the contest jersey path, he instead relies on his free surfing to make a name for himself. With an influx of good quality DIY film clips seeping in from around the globe lately, I hope to see some more edits out of Ryan. I know what he's capable of, and I know he's been filming...

Here is a clip of Ryan from a recently featured filmer Tony Adams. Short and sweet.
