SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL 3
“Tyler is one my favorite surfers to come out of Santa Cruz ever, he rips in 2 foot slop and can match anyone’s turns and airs and excels in the big stuff. Lately (in the last number of years) I’ve noticed he’s become one of the best surfers at Mavericks as well as Ghost Trees. All the youngsters look up to him and he’d make a great representative and athlete for any company.” DAVE NELLY NELSON
WORLD RENOWN SURF PHOTOGRAPHER
“I first met Tyler Fox, when in November 2011, I wrote my first of two articles about him for the Santa Cruz Sentinel. Then in May 2013 and January 2014, he appeared as my guest on the Off the Lip Radio Show on Santa Cruz Radio Station KSCO. On every occasion that I have been fortunate to meet with Tyler, I have always found him to be the consummate professional, who always offers an informative and precise interview that is a joy for any written, or listening audience.” NEIL PEARLBERG

TESTIMONY “Tyler Fox coaches my 12 year-old son Ryan. Tyler was widely recommended to me by people involved in the Northern California surf community. Comments on Tyler were uniformly positive and ranged from “super with kids” to “fantastic teacher.” I see Tyler involved with the community and view him as a steward of the sport. Not in an old-school way; he has style, is widely popular, smart and respected. Whether his time is spent teaching surf lessons or encouraging the surf lifestyle through his company santacruzwaves.com Tyler’s time is spent sharing his passion for the sport with others. Tyler combines the most admired traits of a world-class surfer with the values we respect in others. In big-wave surfing, Tyler is a courageous and aggressive and as a person, he is genuine, honest and always enthusiastic. I highly recommend Tyler for Sponsorship – he not only rides 40 foot waves in front of millions, he’s an ideal representative and fast-rising ambassador for the sport” STEVE BAIR

“Santa Cruz has a dark history of drugs in the big wave scene. But Tyler is the main guy changing the image of our Community for the better. He trains hard, lives a clean lifestyle, and then whips it on the biggest bombs of the year. Seeing him live such an inspiring life has really influenced me to make those same good decisions. Tyler will straight up surf the biggest wave in the world if it comes to him! I train with him a lot and he’s got that fire in his eyes. I hate to sound cheesy, but it’s inspiring to be around him.” KYLE THIERMANN

TESTIMONY “Over the past nine years I have had the privilege and challenge of working with surfing professionals from around the globe. During that time I have met and photographed a wide variety of personalities and observed their various disciplines, drive, focus, work ethic and natural ability. I am confident in saying that Tyler Fox has all the above positive characteristics. He is truly one of the most well rounded surfers on the planet; his raw ability, great style and positive attitude are nearly impossible to teach, in my opinion. I am very happy to endorse Tyler, he is extremely driven and easy to work and travel with. When I starting getting into photography Tyler was the first professional surfer to work with me. His clear sense of direction and vision enable us to generate unique content for his sponsors. I look forward to working with Tyler in the future and watching him progress even further in the sport of Surfing” RYAN CHACHI CRAIG
