Hi, My name is Kyle Howard, originally from Hampton beach, New Hampshire.  My mother passed when I was 12.  I was moved to California to live with my aunt and my older brother moved out here soon after.  I've surfed in the ESA before, making it to the podium, just got involved in WSA and in my first contest finishing 5th in the finals in o-side.  This being my second year in NSSA also. I'm a motivated young individual that gets honor roll and is the Varsity Captain of Tesoro High School Surf team.  I finishing 2nd in the conference championship for 2007 and 3rd for 2008.  I work at Spinners Panini Grill in Mission Viejo to pay for my competition and membership fees.   I am looking to pick up some sponsors to represent.
