Jesse, always a hot dog switching things up while keeping it smooth.

enriching all those who have seen, heard and experienced his self expression.

Jesse's surfing is uniquely his own. Preferring to hot dog on smaller waves he performs like a watery Barishnakow. Tens, fives, backward kick fives, soul arches are the norm. When the waves pick up in size he carves classic lines with a contemporary mind set. Jesse has surfed thrusters, eggs and fishes for years until one summer it was so flat he couldn't wait any longer to get back into the water. He lugged his neighbors heavy, 60's, single fin longboard down to the beach and was reenergized by the transition. Since then you can count on seeing Jesse riding a 10 footer or similar, but don't write off the chance appearance

of him with a shorter surfboard tucked under his arm as he keeps an open mind when it comes to surf craft.

The breaks Jesse's surfed in California are numerous from Steamer Lane, Rincon, Malibu, Trestles, San O, Swamis to every nook and cranny reaching to the Tijuana, Mexico border. The local break he claims as his own is Scripps Pier. Almost everyday of the year except for the occasional crap condition days you can find Jesse there sliding, kicking, walking and weaving down the line. His surf travels have provided him wave knowledge of Costa Rica, Florida and Mexico. With his worldly surf knowledge he has created a repertoire which he smoothly incorporates into every ride. >
