JOEY BURAN NAMED USA SURF TEAM HEAD COACH



Surfing America is excited to announce the appointment of Joey Buran as the new Head Coach of the USA Surf Team. Buran’s role goes hand in hand with a new era of coaching and training for USA Surf Team athletes.

"Joey Buran is a dynamic addition to the USA Surf Team program and we're honored to have him involved," said Mike Gerard, Surfing America Executive Director. "While Surfing America had an incredible line up of applicants from which to choose, Joey Buran kept rising to the top of the conversations. Not only is he extremely knowledgable and well qualified for the job--his enthusiasm is electrifying, he has an incredible vision, and he is a very patriotic American! We're certain that Joey Buran's involvement with the USA Surf Team will launch the program to heights never before contemplated."

Buran will be joined by a soon-to-be-named Assistant Coach. Further, athletes selected to the 2008 USA Surf Team will have the opportunity to work with a high-profile Training Staff which includes: 1989 World Champion Martin Potter, 2001 World Champion C.J. Hobgood, Damien Hobgood, Pat O’Connell, Mike Lambresi, and Matt Kechele.

"Our goal all along was to offer something special for these kids -- more than just being on a team and competing once a year," added Surfing America VIce President, Mike Parsons. "Our coaching staff has great credibility and now, more than ever, will be a year-round thing to bring more value to our program."

Follow Mick Fanning as he rips his way through 10 stops on the ASP Dream Tour and his first ever ASP World Title. From high energy competition to electric freesurfing from Mick and his sparring partners Dean Morrison and Joel Parkinson, the bar has been raised for cutting edge surfing. With epic flashbacks of Mick as a microgrom, his wildcard win at the Rip Curl Pro in 2001 and his career threatening injury in 2004, this is Mick Fanning...Lightning Strikes.
