Without a doubt, Dave Winchester is one of the most recognizable bodyboarders you’ll ever come across. If it’s not his dazzling blonde wig that catches your eye then there’s a very good chance it’s his extremely distinctive approach to riding waves on a bodyboard that will. Dave has left an enduring mark on bodyboarding as we know it today - one that will continue to develop as his riding does so in the coming years.

Dave enjoys having a good time when the waves aren’t holding up their end of the bargain and can often be found passing the time with a fishing rod in his hand. Dave is also eager to help nurture his clothing label Grand Flavour and turn the already popular designs and stylings into an even bigger entity in the future. His natural all round ability is also reflected in the fact that he’s up there with the top handful of Dropknee riders in the world, exhibited by his consistent top ten placing in annual Riptide DK peer polls.

Whether he’s at home enjoying the variety of waves on both the east and west coasts of Oz, or offshore lapping up insane beachy barrels in Mexico, shallow bowls and ramps in the Philippines or heaving pits in Tahiti and Hawaii, Dave Winchester proves himself time and time again to be one of the best and most versatile riders to have ever picked up a bodyboard.
