I have been surfing all my life, mainly on a shortboard, but at the end of 2022 i decided to give longboard a try and turns out its really fun and i love it. i was born and raised in costa rica to a mom who has been a national champ in the past so i decided i wanted to do the same thing.  

Surfing since 8 and my goal it's to be the founder of longboard in Costa Rica to bring longboard in Costa Rica and make more popular

Anthonny Flores is a 6X Central American longboard champion; 6X Costa Rica national longboard champion; a 4th place medalist in the 2023 Pan American Surfing Games; 3rd place medalist in the 2023 Central American and Caribbean Games; and was ranked 2nd in Men's Longobard in Latin America in the 2022 ALAS Pro Tour. A native of Jaco beach, Costa Rica, Anthonny found his passion for surfing at 8 years old when the Bunch family, from the U.S.A., introduced him to the sport. Sponsoring and encouraging him from day one, Chappie Bunch became his mentor, coach, and second Dad. More than two decades later, with Chappie's ongoing support and encouragement, Anthonny continues training toward his dream of becoming a world longboard champion one day.  Thankful for the opportunities he has been given in his life, Anthonny tries to give back to his local community and help young, up-and-coming surfers whenever he can. He hopes to continue to spread the good vibes and happiness surfing has brought to him to everyone he meets, and to all over the world. Today, Anthonny is a Team Rider of Ricky Carroll Surfboards and competes in both professional and amateur events nationally and globally.  Thank you ISA for the opportunity to compete with so many talented surfers from all over the world. Pura Vida!
