But at age 6 he realized that the wind and waves were his friends. Since meeting Mark Angulo recently at his workshop, where the legend advised him to take up surfing Dax has been spotted at Ho’okipa some more but this time on his surfboard. As the first North swell arrived in Maui Dax was brimming with confidence and hitting some air off the Camp One ramps.

While there is a long way to go until Dax makes his first million from windsurfing one thing is for sure. He will continue to learn, have fun and be a fantastic ambassador for our beloved sport and I suggest that you remember this name – DAX BARKER.
