CLAY MARZO - SPY ATHLETE OF THE MONTH!

CLAY MARZO: This 18-year-old phenom from Lahaina, Maui continues his successful run. Clay holds a handful of NSSA National Championships titles, one of them as the only surfer to have a perfect finals heat score of two “10's.”Also under his young belt, Clay has two impressive years of starring roles in Quiksilver's “Young Guns” DVDs.

Clay gained respect from his peers and within the surfing community as one of the most innovative and explosive surfers of his generation. Clay only has one more thing to accomplish as a junior in the surfing world—the prestigious Junior Pro World Championship title. This invite-only contest gathers the top Jr Pro's in the world, and at the end of a week long contest, a king is crowned. More often than not these champions continue on to become the best surfers of their time.

Clay has three tries to get this title and January 2008 will be his first. If his past is any indication of what is to come, Clay will absolutely be a top contender for that crown.

Clays shades of choice is the over-sized Spy Oasis Sunglasses. When he wakes up early for those morning sessions he hides his eyes with the Oasis.
