The Lion Fish....

The Lion fish is an effective predator. They use their long feather-like pectoral fins to herd small fish and then instantly snap them up. There is no known predator that feeds on the lion fish in the Atlantic, so its' population may grow unchecked and create havoc for fisheries and coral reefs in the years to come.

The Hobgoods

We're going with the Hobgoods for our Florida Lobsters. First reason is simple - they're from Florida. Second - they look exactly alike! Just kidding of course they do they're twins. The Hobgoods are a great example however, of the old leading the young - much like the Florida Lobsters. Not that the Hobgoods are old by any means, but on the World Tour they are two of the veteran competitors and are known to take guys that are new to the tour under their wing. There of course is also the example of the Hobgoods themselves following the old - being the Lord. For a couple of good interviews with the brothers check these links out Damo - CJ

The Florida Lobster...AKA: "Bugs"

The best that Florida has to offer as far as taste in my humble opinion.....and it is JUST my opinion. If you've ever been lobstering for the spiny lobster and then grilled out that night with drawn butter and old bay seasoning, you would agree that the entire experience is one you will never forget. The male lobster is called a cock and the female a hen/chicken. Similar to dolphins, lobsters will use complicated signals to establish social relationships. They sometimes walk with each other hand-in-hand, the old leading the young.

Lets go with Taylor Knox for the Sunfish....

Why not go with Taylor here...he's been around the longest and keeps getting bit by all the sharks in competition over and over. The guy is consistent in delivering an average performance in the Sun & Surf and will always be remembered as one of the biggest in competition.

The Ocean Sunfish

The Ocean Sunfish is the largest "boney" fish in the world. They are native to tropical and temperate areas of every ocean in the world. The sheer size and thick skin of the adult form of the creature deters many smaller predators. Despite their size and appearance, ocean sunfish are actually docile and pose no threat to human divers. Who could the Sunfish of the surfing world be??? Stay tuned for some more thoughts on these giants of the ocean.
