Coach for Torrey Pines High School, Team Captain for Iron Cross surfboards, and one extraordinary long boarder. Folks I present to you Shea Roney. With his positive attitude and his sick style on a long board its no wonder he is an inspiration to the next generation of surfers! Shea’s hobbies also include collecting vinyl records skating, collecting wines, and like us, loves his monster stuff. You can usually find Shea out in the line up at of some of the most unreal beaches that San Diego has to offer. Shea also is part of the Swamis Surfing Association which takes part in local beach clean ups, helps local schools, and throws one insane surf contest in Encinitas!!! So if you see Shea out in the line up throw him a shaka, or better yet give him a wave.
