Golden Breed first sponsored legendary surfers Gerry Lopez and Geoff Hackman in the early 70's and since that time some of the greatest surfers of the modern era have proudly worn the famous male/female symbol!
The Golden Breed tradition roles on decades later with its current team riders whom show dedication and loyalty to the Golden Breed brand, its heritage and what it stands for out in the surf. With these surfers and our culture, we together make a great team of talent and desire to 'Surf the World'!
