| Claim to Fame: | Dylan had a rock solid performance at the NSSA Hawaii event # 8 at Pine Trees in solid 4-5 foot surf. In Hawaii's notorious stacked field of surfers, Dylan was a triple finalist placing 4th in Open Mens, 4th in Explorer Mens and 3rd in Explorer Juniors. The 16-year-old is a road warrior splitting residence between Hawaii and North Carolina. He is logging up tons of heat time competing in both Hawaii and Mid Atlantic contests and should be ready to do damage at the 2010 Regionals and Nationals. | |
