Josh Sleigh
Currently lives in Oceanside, California

Josh is a Salt Creek local who is renowned for his futuristic and progressive surfing. Utilizing the winch, Josh is steering his board riding capabilities in the action sports world in a direction that can only make one sit and wonder. In ’07, Dane Reynolds listed Josh as one of the most progressive surfers on the planet. In ‘08 Josh was tagged the “Most Innovative Surfer in the World”. For ’09, Josh plans to hush the critics by being a DIY guy that will rack up editorial via print, video, web and TV. Look for his next movie, “Wake Up” in a surf shop near you in ’09.

Recently, Josh has been busy building his army of winches. Being an ambassador for the sport, you can bet Sleigh will be popping up in wake mags and contests supporting the sport as well as advancing his riding capabilities.
