Human Touch: Dylan Graves

Dylan Graves has been having a successful year after winning the Oakley Junior Pro in Ocean City, New Jersey and continuing to stand out in solid surf. Hailing from Isabela, Puerto Rico, Dylan has been charging for quite sometime, and remains a Quiksilver, DVS and Channel Islands team staple. Picked by Kelly Slater for his radically mature surfing to compete in the OP T3 challenge several years ago, he was also the Explorer Juniors 2004 Nationals Champion. Graves is now focusing his efforts on a ‘QS assault, and bringing his explosive surfing further in to the mainstream.
