Damien Hobgood has spent his life chasing waves. He competed for 12 years on surfing’s elite tour, taking on breaks around the world and building a reputation as one of the sport’s most versatile surfers. Today, Damien lives in San Diego, where he still gets in the water whenever he can, often alongside his kids. His focus has grown beyond the next great wave: he wants to share what he’s learned with his children and help more people feel confident and safe in the water. For Damien, the best part of surfing has always been worth sharing. That’s the spirit he brings to WavePoolParty.com: serious experience, a love of waves, and the belief that a great session can bring people together.
