Can you still go pro or get sponsered in surfing when your 16? and what age do you think they do not look at you any more at??

It all depends on how good u are, what makes u stand out from all the rest? Getting sponsored is easy, it is getting paid that isn't. You will have to prove yourself if u want to make this ur career. l would start by getting sponsored by somebody who can afford to pay for u surf entry fees & possibly travel expenses. Once u win some contents, u will get more recognition & possibly get better sponsors. In order to make the big bucks, not only do u have to be a good surfer but u have to be photogenic (marketable). Kelly Slater would not get paid millions if he was ugly. Do not get me wrong, u can still make money, just not as much.

Anyways, keep it up & enter some pro circuits so u can get some recognition (i.e. make a name for yourself).

If all else fails, get a Japanese sponser & move to Japan, less competition & more money. :)

l am not into to competition (not against mind you, just not into it). But l would give you the same answer for this question that l give for a lot others. Go to your local surf shop. Talk to the surfers there. Does the shop sponsor individuals or a competition team? Do folks who work at the shop compete? Get the right , face to face with real surfers, not just a bunch of anonymous people on line.

idk but l hope so that would be asowome im sure to like 24 they arnt to interested look online and see the avarge age look on pacsun l guess cause they have a surfing team
