Hafa Adai, My name is Derrick Ikehara. i was born and raised on the Island of Guam. I am 39 years old. i have been surfing since i was 5 years old. i come from generations of surfers beginning with my grandfather. i started competing in local grommet competitions when i was 10. i joined my first international competition when i was 14 (Bali Grommet Competition). I have joined several international competitions growing up. Quiksilver Grommet at Duranba, Longboard Invitational in La Union Philippines. As well as competing locally on Guam. My highest achievement would have to be placing first in the mens division at the Melanesian Cup in 2013 at Cloudbreak Fiji. Surfing for me is life. I love to surf because it keeps me healthy, grounded, humble, and content in life.
