Josh Kerr

Bio:

Progressive & performance are the words that are most frequently used to describe the #6 World Tour ranked professional surfer, Josh Kerr. From Coolangatta, Australia and now residing in Carlsbad, California, Josh brings a unique approach to competitive surfing. Whether it’s stomping a signature crowd-pleasing “Kerr-upt Flip” or any variation of his tweaked grabs, his heats guaranteed highlights of any competition.   Kerr was introduced to surfing by his dad at the young age of four and has had a strong passion for the sport since. “I surf my heats wanting to have fun and put on a show”, says Kerr. He brings that magnetic passion to each competition, from his early days as a two-time World Airshow Champion in 2001 & 2003, to his current performance on the ASP World Tour Stage, as one of the top ranked surfers in the world. As successful as Kerr has been, according to him, he is just getting started and plans to continue to have as much fun and push his surfing as far as he can.
