“Day in and day out, Gabe has a smile that stretches from ear to ear. He’s one of the happiest kids around. In the water he’s known for his progressive and creative surfing. It’s always exciting to watch him surf his hometown beach breaks. And he’s not shy when it comes to the ladies either.” - Julian Ganguli, No Fear Athlete Manager
