pro surfer

Paid wave rider

A pro surfer is a professional surfer—someone who competes in surfing for prize money and sponsorships rather than purely for recreation.

The term typically implies elite status in competitive surfing circuits: She's been a pro surfer since she was sixteen.

Pro surfers often earn income through brand endorsements as much as competition winnings.
