BIO
After falling painfully short of his spot on the ASP World Tour in 2009, San Clemente, California native Patrick Gudauskas returned to the ASP WQS in devastating form this past year to finish second overall, solidifying his spot amongst the best for 2010. The vicious competitor's incredibly consistent campaign on the ASP WQS this past year at the most premier venues shows the regular-footer has what it takes to mix it up on the ASP World Tour while leading the swath of Californians to graduate on to the ASP Dream Tour for 2010, including younger brother Tanner.

Aside from being a proven lethal competitor, Gudauskas has established himself as a leader in the movement of progressive surfing while landing the first Rodeo flip in competitive history this past year. It comes as no surprise that Gudauskas is well rounded in all conditions with the California jewel of Lower Trestles as his training ground alongside the plethora of playful beachbreaks his hometown has to offer. After competing as an alternate at select ASP World Tour venues in 2009, look for Gudauskas to use the gainful experience earned amongst the elite as an edge up on his rookie class as he enters his first season on the ASP Dream Tour.
