BRADEN JONES

Age:	15

School:	Family Partnership; 10th grade
Sponsors:	Fox, Esteem Surf Shop, Super Surfboards, Surface Sunscreen, Future Fins
Claim to Fame:	Braden had an action packed day last Saturday as Salt Creek delivered epic surf for SW Open #7. The Central Cal shredder aka “Banana Boy” made the Juniors & Mens finals and nailed the premier Mens victory with some last minute heroics pulling into a sick shack which earned him the winning score! Fave thing about Creek: It feels like home. Local spot: Pismo Pier. Fave surfer: Taj Burrow. Fave NSSA surfer: Sean Woods. Shred crew: Jeff Knell, Sean Woods, Vinny Leonelli. Goal: Make every first heat!
