You may know him as Tommy, but around here, it’s Tommy Boo Boo, Tommy Ten Toes, or Tiny Tarpon Tommy. Now, he’s also the newest and youngest member of The Crew.
Whether he’s skurfing behind an airboat, backflippin’ off a chickee, or sending it off a 45-foot waterfall, Tommy is usually along for the ride. He’s been part of the Marsh Wear family for a while now, so making it official felt like a no-brainer.
Tommy got an early start chasing waves. His parents pushed him into his first one at just two years old in New Smyrna Beach, and by 13, he had gone pro. Since then, surfing has taken him around the world, from Florida to Teahupoʻo, Tahiti, Japan, Portugal, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and beyond. In 2019, he placed third at the ISA World Juniors and helped bring home gold for Team USA.
Fishing has always been part of Tommy’s time on the water, too. To him, surfing and fishing come down to a lot of the same things: reading conditions, trusting timing, and being ready when the moment shows up.
“Surfing helped me understand timing, and fishing slowed me down and made me more patient. They balance each other out.”
These days, Tommy’s motivation is simple: stay connected to what he loves and be out there as much as possible. That’s Tommy. And that’s why we couldn’t be more stoked to officially welcome him to The Crew.
