The Pinellas chapter is finally here.
You've seen the Christian Surfing Association all around the world, and many people you know are a part. Like CJ Hobgood.

CJ Hobgood has not attained the whole world, but something that many surfers would find equally satisfying--he won the 2001 ASP World Championship at age 22. It was a meteoric rise to this after just three years on the tour. While completely stoked on his achievement, CJ is also concentrated on spiritual fulfillment as reflected in this his favorite bible verse " For what shall if profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul.” Mark 8:36
Clifton James Hobgood was born in Satellite Beach, Florida on July 6, 1979. While the surf there is often small and inconsistent, both CJ and his brother Damien were inspired by the success of former World Champion, Kelly Slater. The competitive drive brought on by siblings, helped to shape both Hobgoods into solid surfers and strong competitors. Even as groms they had a strong win to loss ratio. As a kid CJ never thought about anything but surfing, and his entire focus was on getting better, and riding as many waves as possible.
