Our guest this week when not traveling and scoring waves, splits his time
between his home in New York and Winters on the Northshore. He is one of the
most creative aerialists out there as well as a hard charging barrel riding
extraordinaire. His talents were discovered at a young age by Quiksilver during a
summer surf camp and having early success on winning numerous amateur
contests and air shows. It was to no surprise that Quik would invest and send him
to Australia to train with legendary surf trainer “Mick Cain”. Results from training
hard and pure talent… he won the wildcard to compete at home in the 2011
Quiksilver Pro New York. With years of traveling and paying his dues in heavy
hollow waves in places like Mainland Mexico, Tahiti, Fiji, and winters in Hawaii,
he eventually made a name for himself in lineup at The Banzai Pipeline. You’ve
seen him on Youtube, or one of his films “Stacked" or "Hail Mary”, or maybe on Stab
Highway California and definitely on the podium winning the 2022 Van’s Pipe
Master, we welcome Balaram “BAL“ Stack.
