Alan Riik began surfing at the age of 12 and was hooked! After only three months in the water, he placed 3rd in his first competition and fell in love with competitive surfing. The following year, he won that very same event. By the time he graduated from Fletcher High School in Jacksonville Beach Florida, he was a top amateur surfer and had been sponsored by local surf shops for several years. After high school and prior to college, Alan went Pro and was sponsored by Quiksilver, RipCurl Wetsuits, and Hart’s Surf Shop. He had his own surfboard model and T shirt designs through Hart’s called, “Alan Riik Surf Designs”. During his competitive surfing career, he had more than 20 first place victories.
A few highlights of Alan's surfing career include:
