First surf trip after signing for the European Insight squad
by George Mojo
05/04/2007:// British-born Jason Apparicio is off to Bali on his first surf trip after signing for the European Insight squad.
The talented goofy-footer has carved out a sweet life as a free-surfing gypsy since he took to the waves and found his rhythm in Trinidad.
From that Caribbean paradise to countless trips around the region and world, the natty dread has already amassed 8 major surf title covers and things aren't likely to slow any with his new appointment.
Competition lured Apparicio for years, especially on the European tour, and when the waves were good his results shined.
Photo tripsalways highlighted his talent, so the choice to focus more on these was a natural progression.
Apparicio has been on trips to Morocco and Senegal this past month. In Bali, he'll be surfing alongside new team-mates Kai Otton, Luke Stedman, Warren Smith, Jared Mell, and Made Lana.
Psyched on the team's creativity and support of third world characters, like the Jamaican team, 'Apps" jumped at the opportunity to join forces.
"The family is small and super tight, which is always the best way," he said "The vibe is real."
Like his Jamaican brethren, Apparicio also has the musical gene pumping through his veins, and plays drums for reggae band 'Nylon Pool'.
