Austin Saunders
Longboarder - Virginia Beach, VA
I started surfing about 12 years ago, am 22 years old (2006) and have
been building boards for almost 6 years. My quiver is too long/variable
to list. Favorite thing to do is noseride. Born and raised in VaBeach.
I go to Hawaii every year, kind of my return to mecca type of deal. I
try to surf when its good and work when its not. I am kinda
boring...... haha.

Brett McDowell
Shortboarder/Longboarder - Satellite Beach, FL
I previously lived in Maryland, including Crofton, College Park and
Silver Spring. I surfed with my brother Mike, Paul and Mark (members of
the ASC) most of the time in Delaware before moving to Satellite Beach,
FL. I now live on the beach and surf when the surfs there (instead of
driving 2 hours) and without freezing to death. Being Florida, I
usually ride a 9’6 tokayoma in the summer (unless we are in hurricane
alley) and a 7’0 Walden or 6’6 egg (local) for the larger swells in
fall/winter. I live within 5 miles of some the best breaks in Florida
including 2ndlight and RC’s, but there are so many breaks it really
doesn’t matter. Of course I always look forward to hitting the Delaware
breaks when in town.

MD
I grew up in Pacific Grove,
Central CA. Have been surfing for about 19 years living in California
in Pacific Grove, Monterey, Lake Tahoe, San Diego and on the East Coast
in Newport RI and Baltimore. Additionally, I lived for about three years
in the
tropical rain forest of
Cameroon - did get to surf there on the West African Coast (once!) and
also lived in Haiti for about 2 years where I surfed very regularly at
a left hand rivermouth break in Jacmel. Due to my work, I have surfed in
few great
Central/South American spots
as well as in the Caribbean.
My motto - be a global citizen
and always go deep! |  |

Ilia Voronchihin
Shortboarder - San Diego, CA
I am sad to
announce that I have moved to southern San Diego. It was pleasure to
surf and get to know some of you. Some of my favorite and unforgettable
surf sessions was with annapolis surf club.
Next time you are in San Diego, please stop by. I live right on the
beach with a several quality breaks within a walking distance and a
bunch of beach break right up front. And there is Baja California five
minutes from my place. You can sleep on my living room floor for a week
before my girlfriend will kick you out.
Formerly from Annapolis,
MD. I am 28 years old. I came
to the U.S. seven years ago and have been surfing since. Working on my masters
degree in architecture and working part time. My buddy and I used to go surfing
all year around to the Lewes, DE.

ASC member makes the Delmarva news. This week's surfing article written by Roy Harrell in the Beachcomber and Delaware Coast Press
is about a surfing trek he and his kids decided to try last week down
at Tom's Cove, in Chincoteague. They wanted to see if the stories about
it working with a NE storm were true. In the story he wrote, "A
recently transplanted surfer from the Great Lakes [ASC's Tim Guy] asked if he could tag
along. He was even more amped than we were, and his optimistic chatter
about perfect backside barrels soon had us all frothing." Roy Harrell
went on to explain how they were skunked and that, "the poor guy from
the Great Lakes turned right around and headed off muttering something
about it being better in Sheboygan." [see above]
