Nat Young
With a name like Nat Young, this Santa Cruz 15 year old grom has a lot to live up to. But no worries, just because he shares the same name as one of Australia’s greatest surfers, little Nat just takes it all in stride. Already a dominant force in the NSSA riding his Stretch Quads, Nat is slowly making a name for himself by calmly winning heat by heat in every contest he enters. Don’t be surprised that in 20 years there are 2 famous surfers named Nat Young.
