Brendon Gibbens, a surfer from South Africa

South Africa is pretty far removed from the surf industry. Brendon has proven his surf prowess, so now he's taking the time to immerse himself in the Orange County scene. Here's what he had to say about his experience.

Lowers Underated

Yeah, we all know Medina, Julian, and Simpo rule Lowers. Their clips go viral while everyone else just quietly shreds in anonymity. Well this one is for the underated ripper, for Laura and Lakey, for Caio, Fisher, Lucasik, Brendon, and Stu. It was just last year that I uploaded a video of a very little known Gabriel Medina (www.vimeo.com/23482301). Next year, one of these young bucks could own a gold trestle spike of his own.
