DUNFEE
“No one wants to help a kid who is super cocky, and who thinks he deserves a lot of money. I don’t think I will ever be able to buy a house from surfing, but I feel lucky to be able to travel a lot.”Age: 23
Address: La Jolla
Occupation: Pro surfer
Sponsors: Volcom, Etnies, Sector Nine, Nixon, Destination Surf, Matuse Wetsuits, Kane Garden Surfboards.
Derek Dunfee says the travel aspect of pro surfing compensates for the small pay. He’s traveled the world, including working a stint as a boatman on Tavarua Island in Fiji.
