Logan Crossan of San Clemente has been surfing for a year and a half and is one of the most stoked groms in town. As a member of the Soul Surfing team, this regular footer can often be found tearing up waves atop his 5’0” Move or Die at Church Beach and the Pier. Lately he’s been practicing cutbacks in preparation for upcoming WSA contests. Logan loves everything about surfing and can’t get enough of it. “It’s fun being in the water, catching a wave, making turns; everything about it is fun,” he said. “I like pumping and riding down the face and talking to people in the water while waiting for waves. When I see a peak, I go for it, but I try not to be a wave hog. If someone’s already on the wave, I back out.” Logan also enjoys Jiu Jitsu, baseball, football, basketball, drawing—usually “Army stuff or animals”—and building things with Legos. He just started third grade and is a good student whose favorite classes are math, Bible and science. He has surfed in Kauai and said he definitely wants to go back, “because it’s humid and the water is nice and warm and beautiful.” He’d also like to thank his parents for being his “biggest sponsors” and supporting him. “When I grow up I want to be a police officer or an architect. Or, I might want to work with my dad selling vitamins to doctors and stuff,” Logan said. “Oh, and I want to be a pro surfer too.”
