Well it goes to show the sport of surfing is getting more and more recognition.  Just recently I came across a Visa Black card advertisement with former ASP WCTer Shane Dorian featured in the ad.

It’s nice to know that professional surfers these days are getting the opportunity to make more money besides just the surf company sponsors and contest winnings.

If you don’t remember a couple of years ago, Big Wave Charger Laird Hamilton was featured in a national American Express commercial for several months.  And I’m sure Hamilton took home a pretty good paycheck from that.
