About the Author

Eric Namisniak

Eric Namisniak was born in Denver Colorado and moved to Southern California when he was only two. He lives in Orange County with his parents and two younger siblings. He currently attends Tesoro High School as a Junior and plays for the school golf team. Eric was introduced to surfing only a couple years ago, but it quickly grew into a passion. Ever since he found his first surfboard at a garage sale for ten dollars, he has spent much of his time at San Clemente beach riding killer waves and enjoying the warm weather that Southern Cali has to offer. Along with surfing and golfing, he loves spending time with friends and family, playing guitar, and pursuing his interests in becoming an architect.
