One of our newest additions, North Carolinian Perry Pruitt is a super competitive rider who travels to about every contest there is in the east. Perry came out to the West Coast for the first time in 2008 when he travelled to California and entered the 2008 West Coast Championships. He left a number of Laguna locals in the dust, or should we say sand, to walk away with 3rd place. We understand from day one he has pretty much dominated all East Coast contests and we know his sights are set on taking over the west as well.

This super sarcastic grom hooked up with team rider Blair Conklin, whom many say must be "long lost brothers". So Perry could get more experience in the waves of the Wild West, he flies back to So Lag for spring breaks with his XBox 360, 50-ft. wifi cable and board in hand.

These bicoastal kids skim West, 10th St., the Wedge, Aliso and Torts ten hours a day, play XBox the remaining two, and take sustenance at South Laguna hot spots-"Sevies" (7-Eleven) and Thai by the Sea on the daily.

While at home Perry perfects his skills on NC liners and some of the best East Coast waves there are. This dude's going to be around for awhile, so make sure you remember his name and face, because if we see you cut him off you're dead.

We are happy to have Perry on board with us and can only imagine what is ahead for this amazing bicoastal rider.

Perry rides an XS Pro Shape and XXS Pro Shape 5/8" Double Carbon Fiber Skimboard, depending on conditions.
