EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IN THE SURF WORLD, A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL COMES ALONG WHO RISES ABOVE ADVERSITY TO MEET CHALLENGES BESTOWED UPON THEM. NATHAN FLETCHER IS ONE SUCH INDIVIDUAL.

Nathan’s been through a lot in his life, more than most people get to experience in their lifetimes. Growing up in the Fletcher family had a lot to do with it. Both Nathan and his brother and mentor, Christian, were subjected to a side of life that most kids will never have a chance to experience: going on surf trips around the world, spending entire winters on the North Shore, owning your own clothing company, snowboarding any mountain, skating and hanging out with professional skateboarders, riding motocross in the desert and playing in a band. You name it; Nathan’s done it and is damn good at doing it.
