Seth Elmer

Seth Elmer first got on the water at the age of 5 and quickly gained the passion to surf. Living close to the ocean in Newport California, his childhood revolved around surfing. By the age of 15, he entered the 'Surf Industry Machine' where next years of his life consisted of traveling all around the world surfing and making new friends in countries like Brasil, Australia and South Africa. He was one of the founders of TWSA - "They will Surf Again", a non-profit organization that raises money for spinal cord injured surfers. Together with Life Rolls On, Surfer Magazine and TWSA they recruited many famous surfers like Laird Hamilton, Kelly Slater, Taj Burrow, Tim Curran, Rob Machado, Jesse Billeaur to raise thousands of dollars in 2001. He moved to Hawai in 2003 and started a non-profit for troubled youth called surf2cure.org and also teaches surfing at HHSurf to pass his surf knowledge to young surfers. He was once sponsored by billabong and his name is on some surf wear as seen in the picture above.
