Damien Hobgood

Damien Hobgood is a professional surfer from Satellite Beach, Florida, who grew up with his identical twin brother C.J. Hobgood. Both won Eastern Surfing Association and National Scholastic Surfing Association contests and turned professional straight out of high school. Damien won rookie of the year on the 2000 World Championship Tour, took the 2004 Quiksilver Pro Fiji, the 2005 Santa Catarina Pro, the 2006 Globe Fiji Pro and the 2007 Billabong Pro Tahiti, and spent 14 years on the World Championship Tour before moving to the 2015 WSL Big Wave Tour. His 19.9 out of 20 in the 2004 Quiksilver Pro, where he beat Andy Irons, was for a time the highest two-wave final score in pro surfing, until Kelly Slater scored a perfect 20 the next year at Teahupo'o. He stars in the 2019 documentary And Two If By Sea, narrated by Daniel Tosh.
