Hey there, I'm Shan, founder of SurfSpono. I've been surfing for over 22 years and have been in the surf industry for 18 years. In that time I have worked in retail, import / distribution, surf team management and athlete manager.
In that time I have lived and breathed surf sponsorship from being sponsored myself to sponsoring surfers to finding companies to sponsor to surfers, I've seen and done it all....
I started SurfSpono.com to help talented surfers to find sponsors and give them the heads up on what is expected of a sponsored surfer. Important stuff to know if you are wanting to do well in the sport.
If you are unsure on what SurfSpono.com does then let me explain via my SPEEL below..
SurfSpono.com is a whole new approach for surfers wanting to find a surf sponsor.
Founded by me and my surfing based agency Vantage Management, SurfSpono.com is using 20+ years of knowledge and contacts in the surf industry to help all talented surfers.
No longer does a surfer have to send out stacks of resumes and DVDs to team managers in hope of hearing back.
SurfSpono.com contacts hundreds of team managers worldwide from all types of brands, every second week! We let them know YOU exist!
Team managers are told who is new, who has updated their resume and who is ripping!
Your personal resume is fully updateable, you can contest results, add photos and even include video footage.
By utilizing SurfSpono.com you save time and stacks of money, at the same time knowing each time you update your resume you are reaching every potential sponsor in one go.
No need to post of resumes that sit on team managers desks and end up in the bin (I know, I use to be one)
No need to make any more awkward phone calls to potential sponsors.
No more waiting to be 'discovered'. Sponsors are signing up SurfSpono.com members right now!
We do the business side while you go surfing!

Cool... seems like an awesome innitiative for all the grommies out there!
Yeah, thanks Jacob. There are plenty of groms out there that deserve to be sponsored for what they do, they just need to be pointed in the right direction to make it happen. SurfSpono is designed to do that for them. Stay tuned.
