To give you a little taste of his lifestyle, he jetsets anywhere from Australia to Bali to Hawaii to G Land and everywhere in-between. His focus is on doing photo trips and competing in Junior pro's and select WQS events. Balaram has been described as “the complete package, coated with a distinctly smooth style, a fundamental grasp of strong, rail-to-rail surfing, and an instinctively perked ear for advice,” Stack is being heralded as the best surfer to ever emerge from the Empire State. When he is home in NY, you will find him at his long time sponsor Unsound Surf Shop. When he is in Hawaii, look for Balaram to be hunting for waves at Pipe and hanging at the Quik house with fellow Dragon rider, and house captain, Reef McIntosh and crew. “I am stoked to be on the Dragon program and look forward to being part of a really solid team of surfers. Dragon has been around for a long time and has a lot of momentum right now,” says Balaram. “Plus, I am hoping this gets me a couple extra waves at Pipe from Reef and Shane next winter in Hawaii.” No doubt though, he will still have to be taking out the trash and doing his chores at the Quik Pipe house. His favorite Dragon’s are the Calacas and the Wormers, so check them out Here. |
