Taj Burrow

My hero is taj burrow.He is a very successful pro surfer.He is my hero because he surfs, and so do I.He and I have a lot of things in common.We have alot of the same hobbies.And someday I would like to be just like him because he is a pro surfer.

Taj burrow was born in western australia on June 2nd in 1978.His height is 5'8, and his weight is 155 pounds.His stance is regular, just like me.He has many sponsors,they are billabong,oakley,webber,globe,creatures of leisure, and boost.He has three boards, their sizes are 5'11,6'1,6'4.His favorite surf spot,is his home break,mentawai.He loves surfing with his favorite surfing buddies kelly,cj hobgood,andy irons,and mick fanning.And in 1999 he was rated 2nd best surfer in the world.

A scrawny,yet gritty young Australian,Taj burrow is the archetype of a kid-surfing-genius turned pro.But beyond his radical brand of dazzling maneuvers and confounding airs,Burrow is especially important for one reason:he's the only next big thing of the late 90s era who's actually living up to the hype.

By his second year of surfing, he entered his first contest in the under 18 division in a local event. At only nine years old, he won the thing.And for the next eight years, he continued in similar form, winning just about every major accolade in australian junior surfing, including young australian sportsperson of the year.

Anyone who has ever witnessed Taj surfing knows that this kid is going to win a title in the next few years.Take a look at his 'biovid' sabotaj, and you'll know why. He charges huge, seemingly unmakeable barrels. Taj's board can't handle heavy water as well as its rider.
