56| Killian Garland
Birthday: January 1, 1987
Hometown:Orcutt, California

Orcutt, California, might not be much of a surf town, but Killian Garland has used its proximity to top spots in both Northern and Southern California to build a massive repertoire of surfing skills. His father lives in Santa Barbara, which has given Garland access to lined up points like Rincon, while his mom resides in Orcutt, in close proximity to the pounding Central Coast sandbars. A striking free-surfer, over the past several years Garland has put together quite a competitive resume, including five NSSA titles and a solid ninth place at last September’s Op Newport Classic. Look for Killian’s creativity and adaptation to bring him further acclaim.
