Surfer of the Week - 12/9/2019

DAVID O'KEEFE

Age:	15
Hometown:	Newport Beach, California
School:	Newport Harbor High School, Freshman
Sponsors:	Cyber wetsuits
Equipment:	Sharp Eye Surfboards 5'9" Holy Toledo model
Claim to Fame:	Keeping with tradition, December’s Southwest Open was held at Seaside Reef. And true to the norm, competitors feasted their eyes on bombing overhead plus Seaside perfection. With dreamy conditions, David was ready to keep his recent run of impressive results going. After coming off a breakthrough win a couple weeks back at the HB Pier Explorer and a significant runner-up placing in the HB Ninth Street Open, the Newport Harbor High School freshman has certainly been making some noise. Even though he is new to NSSA comp and at 15-years-old considered to be a “late-bloomer”, David is clearly comfortable with the jersey on and quickly becoming one of the standouts in the heavily talented Juniors pecking order. “I definitely started competitive surfing a lot later than my other competitors” David said. “I joined the NSSA this year knowing how good everyone was, I knew they would push me to do my best since most surfers have been doing the NSSA for quite sometime.” David capitalized on his rhythm advancing through his heats convincingly in the firing Seaside conditions surfing his way to his second straight Open final. “After making the final at the last Open before this comp, it definitely gave me momentum and confidence even knowing that the competition is super stacked. I was stoked on how the conditions were and it really showcased everyone’s talent, so I knew that I had to do my best surfing possible.” David who now sits in the number one position in Explorer Juniors and is top 10 rated in the Open credits past NSSA National and Conference Champion Ryan Simmons for taking his surfing to a higher level. “I train with Ryan and he has really helped me improve my skills. I wouldn’t be where I’m today without the work he has put in with me!” Favorite thing about Seaside Reef: The way the waves line up all the way through and you can get multiple good sections to hit. Age you started surfing: I was 7 years old and my Dad taught me by pushing me into waves. Local spot: 54/56 Street. What is the best thing about living in Newport? Everything is so close together, so you know everyone and you can check the waves within minutes. Local surfers you look up too: Todd Miller and Andrew Doheny because they are super nice guys in and out of the water and they push me to do my best. Knowing what they have accomplished in the past really gives me hope and encourages me to set my goals even higher. Surf crew: Taj Miller, Todd Miller, Olivia Lusby, Parker Swoish, Jojo Whelan, Tyler Seitz, Hadyn Norwood, Milo Ely McGregor and all the rest of the Newport locals. Favorite surfers: Griffin Colapinto and John John Florence because they are both super creative with their surfing and never fail to amaze when you watch them. Fantasy Superpower: To be able to teleport to wherever the best waves are. If you could surf like anyone, who would it be? John John Florence and Filipe Toledo because they both do insane airs and are so fast and good with their rail work. Dream wave: Perfect Rincon with just my friends and me out. Something people don’t know about you. I have a lot of energy and I’m very open to other's ideas. Who has pushed your surfing? My coaches, and everyone else who supports me in what I love to do the most. Also my friend Taj Miller because we surf together everyday and he pushes me to surf better and try new things. Thank yous: My family, Ryan Simmons, Bill Seitz, Todd Miller, Matt Pagan, Kevyn Dean all the people who push me to do my best!
