Adam Zervas

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Airhead has had the pleasure of catching up with Adam Zervas.. Surfer, Longboarder and one of the forefathers of SUP in the UK… between his work with Reef in the UK and his family Adam has been finding the time to hit the water and compete, to be honest the results speak for themselves…

English Nationals
The surf on the day was a stormy 4ft plus during the finals with 25mph onshore winds, Adam was riding the Basic BK 10 ft. Squash C4 Waterman which of course did the job for him.

Surf, Kitesurf, WaveSki, Traction Kiting, PaddleSurf, Kite Buggy / Land board and lastly Mounain board… yep that deserves the title “Extreme Academy”
