Recognized for his sharp, technical surfing and relentless competitive spirit, Michael Dunphy is an East Coast hero. Boasting a heavily decorated competitive background, including the title of 2x WSL North America QS Champion, Michael also takes every moment outside of competition to seek out the best waves all over the globe and also film for his next project. A self-motivated go-getter that leads an active and healthy lifestyle, he has a great image and reputation within the surf world. When he’s not surfing, he’s usually flying an airplane over the ocean around his home in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
