Michael February
Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, Mikey has molded a style of surfing that exquisitely channels old school flare with new school precision and technical prowess. He’s a surfer who does things his own way, generating a dynamic groove that’s inspired by the flavors of Africa and his many creative endeavors. While Mikey is incredible to watch in the water, it’s what he does on land that’s truly inspiring for surfers and non-surfers alike, as he continues to uplift and support local South African communities through the non-profit Waves of Change.

Tanner Gudauskas
We’re thrilled to announce that Tanner Gudauskas has joined the RAEN family. Bursting with unhinged electricity in and out of the water, Tanner is an artist, surfer, and humanitarian. When he’s not chasing swell around the world, you can find him making waves with his eclectic art and Positive Vibe Warriors, nonprofit foundation he started with his brothers.
TANNER'S PICK:
JJ Wessels
San Clemente-based JJ Wessels is an artist, surfer, and craftsman who has mastered the California lifestyle. In the water, he has a distinctive style that’s both old-school and fully modern, nodding to the surf icons of Orange County while also blazing his own path down the line. When he’s on land you’ll find him with a paintbrush, pencil, or his trusty camera, creating work that’s fresh and free. From San O to the studio, he’s a gifted talent who continually pushes boundaries in and out of the ocean.
JJ's PICK:
Jesse Guglielmana
Ambassador Jesse Guglielmana has a free-flowing creativity like nobody else. Whether he’s surfing, skating, or slinging paint in the studio, he effortlessly embodies the California lifestyle in all his endeavors–and he somehow finds time for his upcycled clothing and beautifully nuanced surfboard designs. There’s nothing ordinary about the way he rolls, and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
Jesse's PICK:
Pat Gudauskas
Part of the Gudauskas trio of brothers, Pat is a surfer, a father, and a humanitarian. Since he was a kid, he’s had saltwater running through his veins, pushing the sport ever-upward with a signature, progressive style that’s propelled him to the highest level of competition. Along with chasing waves around the world, he’s also a dedicated family man and the co-founder of Positive Vibe Warriors with his brothers—and he does it all with style, class, and a smile.
Pat's PICK:
Dane Gudauskas
Dane is free-wheeling, free-spirited, and overflowing with stoke. Part of the Gudauskas trio of brothers, he’s got a joy for the ocean and a passion for humanity–which he gladly shares as the co-founder of Positive Vibe Warriors with his brothers. Hailing from San Clemente, CA, his unquenchable thirst for waves is only matched by his perpetual happiness in and out of the ocean. He does things his own way and he makes us all want to have a little more fun.
